Adult children refers to individuals who are grown and have left their parental home, regardless of their age. This term is often used in contexts discussing family dynamics, living arrangements, and financial independence. The transition to adulthood and the establishment of an independent life are common milestones associated with this stage. Adult children may live independently, with partners, or in other shared living situations. Their relationship with their parents typically evolves from one of dependency to one of greater autonomy and reciprocity. Financial independence is a significant aspect, with many adult children managing their own careers and expenses. Socially, they are forming their own social circles and potentially starting their own families. The term can also sometimes be used informally in discussions about parents who continue to provide significant financial or emotional support to their grown offspring. The specific definition and societal expectations surrounding adulthood can vary across cultures and generations.
