photosynthesis Posted November 10, 2005 Posted November 10, 2005 [quote name='Norseman82' date='Nov 10 2005, 01:01 PM']After reading this and logging off, I remembered an example that shows that some of this is culture-dependent. For example, I learned from a Salvadoran family that in their society you live at home until you get married - in fact, I found out that I was considered a sinner because I was single and lived on my own!!

My dad constantly said bad things about my mom because she chose to move back in with her mom... I'm glad she did it though, because i never had to be a latchkey kid.

Socrates Posted November 11, 2005 Posted November 11, 2005 [quote name='Aloysius' date='Nov 10 2005, 12:15 AM']nah, I think it in an ideal society you live with your parents until you go off to get married, that's the reason to leave father and mother. that'll teach you independence too, there's no need to go off and then have no one living with you. going off to live with your wife is the idealest of situations, I think.

There's a lake of stew, and of whiskey too. You can paddle all around them in a big canoe, In the Big Rock Candy Mountain!"
