Another example of why this country is going down the toilet. we have a 23 year old living with his parents and parents not ready to let go.

To the parents: Stop babying your ADULT son.

To the son: You're and ADULT, move out.

I don't quite see much wrong with living home still at about 23.. it has its benefits. Gives you time to save up some money to pay off your college loans early and get the money together for a downpayment on a house instead of blwoing it on rent for some apt.

Though don't expect much of a social life at that age. Particularly cuase your parents will try and piss you off to get you to move out since they don't want you around anymore 😉

The general concensus on ATOT is that you should move out the day you turn 18. Doesn't matter if you pay your parents rent, doesn't matter if it allows you to save money at a crucial time for a person financially. You should cause yourself needless hardship for the sake of responsibility, because no person who ever lived with their parents past the age of 18 ever contributed anything meaningful to society.

(In case you can't tell, I don't agree with the general concensus on ATOT. I think a lot of the people who hold that opinion are jealous of are financially better off as a result)

I think the OP's parents are crazy for expecting him to be a virgin at 23.

And following him around... that's BEYOND crazy.

I live at home, and I have a better economic future than the average person my age that lives in Texas, but that being said, it can be quite irritating living at home.

Ha, I have to reply to you after reading that sig. Just classic. Anyway, decide for yourself I guess. I personally wouldn't go out with her, but she's probably a solid 7 on most guys' scales.

Ok to clarify, my comment was directed at the fact that if he's living at home he has to expect that sort of reaction. There is nothing wrong with living at home at age 23... nothing like free meals and room/board. I've been on my own since 18 and I don't think I'd change that for anything but that doesn't mean I'm knocking it. If you don't want your parents in your personal life then get out from under their roof; dead simple.

No more sad faces from the crowd, ok? 😛
 
Topic unlocked. Sorry about the old title if it offended anyone. Back on topic, what is with all the people saying this girl is crazy for dating a guy that lives with his parents. He's stupid for putting up with it, but it isn't the end of the world if you wanna save up for a nice house someday. This girl is by no means out of his league. He looks practically identical to me and can do much better if he tried.
