do you still live with your parents?

[goodtime]

After 30 you really should have you own place. Hard to impress a girl if you don't have a place to bring her.

But think of the excitement, sneaking into her parent's basement for some mind-blowing sex. ex-GF was loud during the big-O. Good thing her Dad has hearing problem & mom is glad her daughter was being satisfied.

Few times her parents cook us breakfast in bed, now that was ackward.

For the record, He stays with me when he wants to.

I would think that more Terb members would live with their parents than non-Terb members of the same age would. But perhaps my assumption is false. I moved out in my teens, I had no choice, but I certainly could have had an easier start to my independent life if I had waited a little longer and saved some money.

I have no sympathy for adults living with their mommys and daddies. Leeches every one.

Not necessarily... sometimes the kids stay because the parent(s) are ill.

And sometimes they are pressured to stay for no good reason... like I was.

In my case, I'm the youngest of my siblings. If I moved out, my mom would be "by herself" (my dad had passed away 7 years earlier) - even though we were all relatively close by. Buying a home was a good idea for my parents and my older siblings. But for me, my entire family was suddenly convinced that it wasn't a good idea. Total BS.

I bought a place and moved out anyway. It all worked out in the end since my mom now has a boyfriend and I imagine that she's now glad to have her house all to herself.

I'm 28 and still live at home. I'd ideally like to move out but can't. I have 2 undergrad degrees and graduated with about $40k debt. My parents divorced when I was 12 and my mom got stuck with a mortgage and 2 kids. She never finished high school in her home country so you can just imagine how hard it was for her to take care of 2 kids and a house and how many sacrifices she has made. Anyway, both my brother and I finished school with large debts... We're helping our mom and ourselves out of debt before we move out.

Good for you.


Family should come way before the opinions of anyone on this board .



( For the record we bought our son a condo, so he's not at home)

Generally when I meet women and tell them I live at home, they don't bother too much to ask what I do, they just assume I'm not doing it well... Little do they know that I probably 'make' their annual wage bimonthly, but I end up reinvesting that money into the business and just slowly payoff my debts.

 

[Jade4u]

As they say nobody should just assume anything. Good for you.

 

[YellowDog]

Seems like those who live at home always have an excuse as to why they are living at home.
Personally I have no respect for them. Professionally I can do a little more. I do the hiring for a major company, and if I find out someone is living with their parents they don't get hired.
To me living with your parents is a red flag that your motivation is suspect. Like I said, these people always have an excuse, and those excuses are mostly bullshit.

Interesting comment...I just turned 36 and am living at home with parents due to a messy divorce. I work a full time day job and escort part time on weekends.

I don't make tons of money at my day job and trying to make ends meet right now with bills and everything that goes with divorce is difficult.

So maybe just maybe before you make a judgement call like this one you should find out the reasoning for it and not assume there is a lack of motivation.

Yeah, I do make a distinction, I have no problem with temporary situations like divorce. Its just the guy (and it seems like it is 80% guys) who never left home for any significant amount of time, but have been mooching off their parents for most of their life. In fact if someone told me things had gone bad and they had moved in with their parents, but were doing everything to get out, I would sympathise with them and do whatever I could to help them. I have had at least three cases where I have fired men and they have come back with their mother who tried to plead their case for them. In one case they both were crying while she held his hand and stroked it. I have also had several applicants come in with their mother when applying for a job, I just can't believe it when that happens. In every case these guys still lived at home.

Okay first thank you for your response and second who the hell applies for a job with their mother. Hell I don't even want to be seen with my mother never mind apply for a job with her there....jeez.

My 11 year old son thinks moms are uncool and to be honest I hope that he always thinks that...he loves me but he wants to be independant and on his own and that is the way it should be.

I would never kick him out (at least until he is finished school) but he is already talking about how he wants to get a job (he is a little miser) so he has his own money.

I think men tend to stay home longer because they like the fact that mommy is there to take care of their needs and when they get married expect their wives to do the same, trust me married one who expected that from me and i did it for a long time til I realized no amount of crying was going to fix him.

Now my attitude have an apt and a job or get lost.....

I'm in my 40's now and my Mother actually lives with me. She is retired and doesn't have allot of money - so it was my turn to look after her.
I don't have a problem at all with the ladies.

 

[Nikki Hayze]

I think that is a different situation personally and I think it makes you a good son.
I hope my son will do that for me, probably not but hopefully...lol

And you probably don't have a problem with the ladies because you are so cute

Now that's good!

I don't see anything wrong with adults living with their parents, even if they have a job. Why not live with them? Do they beat you? Maybe they beat their parents and take their money Seriously though, Yellowdog, are you a bank manager? You probably want those peeps to live on their own so that you can get them into more and more debt. Living at home is an awesome way of saving money and living stress free financially. Like who wants to move out and owe the stupid bank 250,000 dollars for a mortage and 30,000 bucks for a decent car? Then there are the credit cards, the biggest legal rip-off of all at 18% interest. Life is getting more expensive all the time and NOBODY GIVES YOU ANYTHING FOR FREE THESE DAYS, ESPECIALLY MONEY.

 

[frankcastle]

I live on my own but there is nothing wrong with living with your parents.

From their perspective maybe they like the company or help you can provide.

From your perspective there's the decrease in your living expenses.

The important part is to make sure it's not unhealthy for either side. For example feeling trapped or having this arrangement stunt the development of other aspects of your life.

Some people stay for the comfort and savings but never make the plans to move out.

Also, I think it's sad to see an older guy who can'f find his way around a kitchen or a garage thanks to mommy and daddy.

 

[C Dick]

Some people are lazy bums, and one symptom of being a lazy bum is living with your parents and mooching off them. But that does not imply that everyone living with their parents is a lazy bum, as many posters have pointed out, there are some other good reasons why some people live with their parents.

 

[muskokagirl]

I just moved back in with my parents i'm 24.... i moved to vancouver when i was a teenager with my bf.... that was a bust so i moved home.... hope i'm not living with them too long!

 

[blackdog]

I moved out when i was 18 got mixed-up in the military, saw the world in a bad way, came home to T.O. and there was no way I could move back in with Mom and Dad. They wanted me to, but it would not have been good. I made it work on my own.

P.S. I hear that story of moving out west with great expectations, then... Vanvouver gets old FAST. The mountians are nice, the city sucks. I've spent too much time in Vancouver and i can never get out fast enough. If I hear "spirit of the west" i get violent.

Weird. I wonder how you can afford to hire escorts if you and your family are dirt poor?
