There are many cultures out there where extended families living together are quite viable an option. And parents offer their children a home until they find a path in which to travel whether that is to a home of their own, a family of their own, a new location. In many instances of these situations it is about taking the trauma out of their offsprings life and easing them into society. Someone leaving home at 16, 17, 18 could possibly leaving prior to being ready to, hence making hard lessons come at them faster and lifes realities slap them harder. These are choices made by the individuals themselves for whatever reason (lack of communication with parents, rebellious nature while living with their parents, refusal to conform to rules of the house, feeling they new it all and refusal to recognize the wisdom be taught by parents, refusal to put up with any more disfunction they were experiencing in their family, etc.). Regardless of the age, maturity or whatever, when a person leaves home is the choice made by the family structure whether it cultural or not. Why does a so called dominant living with his parents make him a 'mama's boy Dom'? Perhaps it is all in the timing of events. I know men that have lived with their parents well into their late 30's, this did not make them less dominant on the contrary pretty close to the opposite effect happened with them, they new exactly what they wanted, how they were going to get it, were very secure with themselves, financially stable, did not have alot of hard lesson issues, and to this day are doing extremely well with their lives.
