How long would you let your kids live at home?

As a parent who know the value of children, I can't afford d to watch my children suffer or enable other people take care of them because no one can actually love my kids more than myself. No one can actually take care of your children more than you and no human can replace your love and affection towards them.
Just as you've stated that most Americans believe that children should start leaving their home at the age of 18. I agree with this but it actually depends on the parent involved. Some parent love their children to be with them such that they don't allow their kids to live far away from them due to the kind of love they have for their children. We also have some parents who send their kids out of home just to make them start facing the real world at some certain stage in life.
As for me, I think the best time for me to enable my children live alone is when they are done with their studies in higher institution. I will try my best as much as possible to give them the best education and all what they deserve to be come independent of anyone and they can start leading the kind of lives they intend for themselves because they can't stay in my house forever. We will surely depart when it's time just like the saying goes that "100 boys can never play for 100 years". They will surely have to go their separate ways building up their own family, making money and other activities just like I will also go on with my life. I know it's not gonna be easy because I will miss them alot but what can we do against the rule of nature.
Thanks for reading and I hope this helps.
It depend on how big my house and property is.
@twunders... That's another good reason but don't you think it's also preferable to let them gain their freedom and start preparing for live challenges?
No, because it isn't about them being at home it is about how you let them be in your home. You can make a requirement that they go out during the day as adults and have a job or school to go to. You can teach these things from a very young age so that they grow into productive and inspiring people.:)
Wow!! You are absolutely right about this... I never thought of this... You will surely be a good father @twunders... Maybe I will still come to you for tutorial about family training.. Lols 😂🤣😀.
I've actually learnt a lot from your comment.
