They don't cook for themselves, they don't do their own laundry, they've never had to regularly pay their own bills or do house work.

This is a HUGE issue when you're dating someone who actually wants to have an adult relationship. From the woman's perspective. You hook up with these kind of guys, then they move in with you and basically expect you to do all the shit for them their mother did. And that's not cool.

I understand the financial benefits of being able to save money at home (though in my experience most people don't save more, they just spend more cause they can). But I think there's some life experience there that at least for me I think is very important.
Not sure about the cooking part since I cook pretty 7days a week at home >< also pay the bills, house insurance, pay bills and rent, clean the house ......... sucks lol. My sister on the other hand doesn't cook or do any cleaning yet she just move back a few months ago (she went elese to work, which makes me wonder does she ever cook lol.). Factor in all these I think it could cost roughly the same if I move out but I guess I miss the whole family thing. Having to come home and have someone to talk to and the house is never too quiet. Also my parents don't speak English so yea.

I do have the urge to move out though.
