When they're ready. I was fifteen.

I was 23, I moved out once before at 21 but that included a psycho boyfriend lol My brother is still at home he is 21 but in the process of trying to get his own place. I think as long as they are not taking the piss (treating house like hotel, no respect etc) then whenever they are ready - but should still be made to feel welcome if they wanna visit lol

When they are old enough to go to university/college. They need to learn to take care of themselves.

Yeah i think when they are ready, unless ur willing to spend the rest of ur life with them and taking care of them xD

Probably by the time they're 30 at the latest, but sooner would be better. Going to college / university would be a good starting point in terms of getting used to the idea (for both parents and children), although it's unlikely they'd move out immediately after graduation. I got married, for the first time, when I was 22, so that's when I moved out.

I would say 25 at the latest... gives them a chance to finish school and get a job. I was 23 when I got my own place.
-
I was 17....but I would say as long as they are in college/trade school they can stay at home

I moved out at 23, after finishing school, and started my career in another city. I paid rent during this time and when I moved out, my mom gave me about 75% of it BACK to put toward my moving expenses and new address. (she had been saving it all along)

I spent the entire summer after high school graduation studying and traveling. Then went to college out of town, coming home for holidays and summer. My parents were gone most of the summers so I'd cross paths with them but basically lived in the house alone, although there were relatives in town. I had spent weeks or months more or less on my own during summers for a couple of years before that. There wasn't any neglect or animosity-just growing up. I remember those days fondly even though they ware decades ago.

I don't think age is the deciding factor. When they are ready to set up their own home is the right time. I quit college and left home early, but my parents took me back when I needed them. My son's best friend still lives with his family, at age 28. He has set up his own apartment in the master bedroom. He pays rent, has a job and a car. He feels very comfortable there.

Right out of High School. I could'nt wait to spread my wings. Joined the AF and got the HELL out of there!

I don't think there should be a certain age. It is very difficult for young people to be able to afford to live on their own at a young age now. I was 24 when I bought my first condo.

it supposed to be never in eastern countries..I live separate because of job, but in the end will return to home.
