  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

Maybe in traditional american culture. The rest of the world cares about the family at every stage.

Yes American culture values independence but most other cultures are interdependent. There’s pros and cons to both. In many interdependent societies, kids stay with parents until marriage which helps keep costs low and allows kids to save or focus on career. But parents can also be extremely overprotective over kids (ex. helicopter parents) and keep kids from pursuing new things or risky endeavors (ex. family gaslighting you for trying something different bc it goes against their worldview).
