That's why I said it was conditional.

Around where I grew up, the poorer families were tighter and the kids would live and work out of their parent's homes until they got married, but us middle class kids were expected to have a job and pay for our own apartments if we weren't working to pay off personal expenses through college.

In cases where there was other issues in the family, yeah the poor kids would be forced out of the house early, where in abusive situations or whatever, middle class kids could generally be expected to be allowed to stick around until after high school.

Maybe I just didnt read it the way you meant it. You started by saying it was conditional and then seemed to list it as if the conditions you were considering were limited to social class.

Apologies if thats not what you meant.
