Recent years have witnessed a rise in the number of adults choosing to continue living with their parents after graduating and finding occupations. While this has admittedly certain advantages, I would contend that this is largely a drawback.
Granted, one argument supporting adults living with their parents regardless being graduated or found jobs is that they can save a huge amount of money for living. This is because the living cost, including housing or transportation expenses, is becoming unaffordable, and can be paid by parents alone or the bill can be split between parents and adult children. Nevertheless, I believe some adults might lack motivation to work and study because of this lifestyle. Working and studying are regarded as sources of wages for many residents; therefore, adults that have no or little contribution to pay living bills themselves might be seriously inactive and unwilling to dedicate themselves to study and work.
Furthermore, there is also a rationale proposing adults continuing to live with their parents after graduating and working for a job. From this trend of life, parents can thoroughly manage, as well as take care of their adult children. The close ties between both stakeholders has become the motivation for a number of parents to keep track of the quality of their children’s diet, health conditions, or work and studies. However, I believe this might be disadvantageous to a certain extent, since in some cases, adults might be over-reliant on their parents or lack a sense of independence. Therefore, they may lack abilities like time-management, money-management skills or even lose self-confidence. In the further future, they might lose opportunities to achieve a qualified qualification in studies, or get higher promotions at work.
In conclusion, despite certain benefits of adults intending to live with their parents after graduating or finding a job, I am of the opinion that its drawbacks are much more glaring, including losing motivation, as well as interpersonal skills in work and studies.
