Ultimately, it's a good thing for both the parents and the child as they can move onto another phase of their lives.
My parents gave me the option of going to school or moving out when I turned 18. The funny part is even though I picked school, they made me pay for school by myself. So both options involved moving out and being on my own. To their defense, I was more then capable of supporting myself and I have 4 younger sisters that they need to provide for.
