What I find interesting, is that in India, there isn't a social norm of moving out of parent's house after 18, unlike many other countries. Maybe because of the large population leading to high rates of housing. I guess, that's another reason why our Desi parents want us to act like grown-ups but treat us like babies at the same time.
@_lunawinters That's a good observation. I have thought about it a lot too!
And it is also one of the reasons why Parents are so into one's life (which is very good but at times really hinders one's growth as a mature man/woman)
@shibaprasad as much as their role is important, one's privacy should be respected too.
