Honest question. Do Americans really think “taking care of your family” is just an American thing?

It's pretty much opposite of the American thing. Many other countries have multi-generational households, while most Americans leave home at 18 and retire to a nursing home.

Not many people are leaving their parents at 18 in the US these days lol

Many people are "forced" out essentially at 18. If you are 18+ and live with your parents without paying hundreds at least in rent, then I can assure you that you have parents that actually love you.

It's not a thing for everyone.
