Crnr2Crnr Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I can think of two families I know of that haven't kicked their baby birds out of the nest yet. You? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deephaven Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 My oldest is 12, but more of an adult that Frankie, Znotty, and some others on this site. Does that count? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted October 8, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Two that live at home but both have good jobs. I don't think there is any harm living at home (up to a point) but the lack of working in today's job market is ridiculous. Ellen: “Well, he’s been out of work for close to seven years.” Clark: “In seven years, he couldn’t find a job?” Ellen: “Catherine says he’s been holding out for a management position.” Edited October 8, 2021 by Highmark 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irv Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 My son is 20 but still in college (his last year) and has spoken that he'd like his own place soon or as soon as college is over when and if he lands a decent job. Times have changed and if people can't see that then they're as blind as can be. Kicking a kid out of the house at 18 this day and age is way way different than what it was 20-30 yrs ago.

Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted October 8, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 8, 2021 I know of one and the kid is 46!! no drivers license (not suspended just to lazy to get it) no job, and has 1 kid who is in her early 20's who is out on her own..lol..But the parents just enable him to be the way he is, give him rides where ever he needs to go, buys him food, booze, and cigs.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racer254 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) One, was on heroin, then was ordered by a judge to go to the clinic to be administered narcan for 18 months. Moved in with his parents and been on that over 10 years now. 10 fucking years. Those guys really know a cash cow when they see one.

Platinum Contributing Member Rigid1 Posted October 8, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 8, 2021 Correction, I know of one other, a girlfriend Mid 30's, who talked to her parents about selling her house this spring, which she did, house was paid for, she bought for 108k, sold it for 189k moved in with her parents for a year or so till the house market chills out and she can scoop something up for a good deal. She works full time and always has, it's was more of a financial decision for her to profit a nice hunk of coin and get something better..Her parents in no way are taking care of her because she is a loser or down and out or anything like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, a judge can’t order opiate replacement therapy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zambroski Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 I know of one but several with their kids on the 6-10 year college plan….for a four year degree. No majors declared yet. You know, just gonna see how it plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I guess it was methadone and the judge ordered 18 months on it so he could get full custody of his child. So yes a judge can order it in a round-a-bout way, but you already know that. Don't act dumb, you know judges do this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mag6240 Posted October 8, 2021 Share Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) A niece of mine, who is a CPA, making well into the 6 figures, staying with my kids mom for the last two years, because she is afraid of Covid - She's 28 and my kids couldn't even go to their moms for Christmas last year, because they might bring the Covid. Insanity at its finest. Edited October 8, 2021 by Mag6240 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None of my personal friends have adult kids at home. Every one I know made there kids start working as soon as they got in to HS . I have a few customers who have shitbag adults living at home . But again there are people who never made there kids work from birth to end of a 4 or 6yr degree . Now they reap what they sew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted October 8, 2021 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 8, 2021 I'm not opposed to kids living at home (up to a point) as long as they are not deadbeats. Parents are enablers when it comes to everything from drug/alcohol addiction to lack of work ethic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
