In foreign countries, people usually move out of their parent’s house in their early 20s. The idea is to grow and start an independent life. However, this is not the case here in India. We live with our parents throughout our lives. In the case of boys, they get married and bring their wives to live with them. And when it is a girl, she usually moves into her in-law’s house. However, with evolving times, many have started to question this notion and are also trying to change it.
Now, elaborating on the same, Twitter user ‘Shubh’ asked people if they agree with the opinion that one should “move out” from their parent’s house in their early 20s if they want to grow without restriction???
The tweet, which has now gone viral, has sparked a discussion on the micro-blogging site.
“how many of you agree to this opinion that you should move out from your parents’ house in your early 20s if you want to grow without restriction???” Shubh wrote.

The tweet, since being uploaded, has garnered tons of responses. It also has over 119K views. “I kinda didn’t have a choice my parents/siblings, blackmailed me into going for Masters at 23.. but it was an awesome experience staying in a foreign place without knowing anyone and making new friends,” wrote a Twitter user. Another person mentioned, “I did that at the age of 21, and it served me very well. I don’t think I could have achieved even half of what I did so far if I hadn’t moved away from the protective wings of my parents. In my understanding, ‘Necessity’ is a great teacher, when you hit the wall you learn to climb.”
“Agreed! Had a different story tho. Pre-pandemic, I live away from home. During lockdown, I moved back with fam for 3 years. I realized I absorbed their energy & mindset in short time. Imagine growing up with 20+ yrs of influence! They really shape you without even realizing it,” shared another person.
Has been away from home since 15. Learned a lot by experiencing bitter things n standing up by own wo taking the warmth of my comfort zone. But ultimately the part of life for which I crave everyday is life with my parents after standing in my own feet n settling https://t.co/kFXJH26bG0— Sanyuga (@Sanyuga_24) May 10, 2023
Moved out at the age of 17 ! Learned a lot throughout the years! Everyone should live independently so they know what they want from life! https://t.co/YSpup0hkwC— shubhangi.sharma (@shubhangiKashy9) May 10, 2023

Moved out when I was 18.5. Still the best decision.More than the restriction thing, it helps one grow as an individual https://t.co/sY9JFOosqV

No there's no such thing. People who cry about restrictions are the one's who just want to get drunk party and fuck around. Living with your parents and growing with them is a privilege not everyone can afford. Those who have it should cherish it. https://t.co/Xsj6zGak1c— Sanat (@imsanatk) May 9, 2023
Why 20s have learnt doing all works in home and managing studies from 9th standard as had working parents . Already they gave ultimatum that just like their parents taught to be self dependent from start you should also try becoming that learning success and failures in life https://t.co/3UbI3D1PbO— Pratham (@Pratham_padu) May 9, 2023
