I don't see what the big deal is. I'd live with my parents while I'm in college if I could. We don't know everyone's situation and why they make the choices they do. I'm sure his mother does appreciate having another person around the house to help out. My parents love for me to come and visit, in fact my mother says she sleeps better at night when I'm there. Then she doesn't have to worry about me.

Everyone has their reasons for why they do what they do. I've helped out my parents, and they've helped me out even more. This is family and NOT a business relationship. You love each other and you help each other out. Not everyone is dealt the perfect cards or the perfect family situation.

I wholeheartedly agree.
 
Whores are important. They fill an important niche in society.

Anyway, I think living at home once I graduate would be awful. I stay out late, I like to live my own life, and my parents just don't like it. My mom tells me she misses me all the time and is ready to get rid of me by the end of winter break from school. Living at home is the last thing I want to do.

That being said, if the money is tight, if I'm making minimum wage I'll move back in. I don't think my mom will ever need me though, I'd just move in to get my own stuff together.

There are worse things, like still living at home AND being a virgin at the same time. Or still living at home and being amish. Oh man, those crazy amish.

Everybody's situation is different. Don't look down upon them because they're not you.

I don't get along with my parents at all, actually we argue to the point of no return, yet when it comes to the family budget I still do my share, NOT because I have to but because I want to.

There are cultural differences. Asians do tend to live with their parents longer into their adult years than caucasians. It's a different way of thinking. For us it's the whole taking care of your elders expectation as well. For me, I don't do it because they expect me to, I do it because I believe it is the right thing to do.

At the moment though I would say that I'm not at the stage where I'm financially capable of moving out, that's why I'm still at home. At the same time they're so much in debt that they would not be able to sustain their situation if I used the money I pay them each month towards my rent instead. It's a either or situation, either the money goes to rent or it goes to them each month. Knowing that they're in the desperate situation that they're in partially because of us kids, it'd be wrong to wipe my ass and walk when I do become capable financially down the road. At least not until I can afford both rent and payments to them at the same time each month.

Nobody has to justify their decision and situation to anybody. You only have to answer to yourself your own actions.

The mouth is theirs. You can't control what they say or type, or how they choose to think. Your trying to justify your situation to a bunch of strangers on the internet wouldn't do you a bit of good.

 
You live with your mom. This is your choice, you made it for whatever reasons you might have, you feel this is acceptable and you are not ashamed by it.

So why the fvck do you care what anyone else thinks about it? Isn't that enough?
 
When I was 24 I broke up with a girl I was pretty serious about and we had been together for a few years. Anyways I left her ass! But, we had an apartment together, so I had no place to stay. My parents lived in the same city, so I moved in with them for a few months to get myself situated financially and emotionally. Oh man, it was so nice to have home cooked meals again from my mom. Heh, I dont regret or feel emberassed about it at all. Its family, right?
 
If you don't find it economically viable to sustain life out of your parents....

Oh the hell with it. It's a lot better than being stuck with 3 room mates late with rent and that throw parties at 3am on a Sunday night.
 
I haven't read this thread, I have no idea about the background, but it seems like you have an issue with it yourself

Wow, I didn't realize how much flak I'd get for it. It's too bad that you people think living with parents is a bad thing. Laughing at me because I live with my mother is quite ignorant. I find it honorable, but if you think it's funny to make fun of me because I'd rather help my mother with the house payment, that's fine with me I guess. I don't know about your childhood, but my mother busted her fvcking ass trying to raise me. I owe her a lot, and not just monitarily. Make fun of that all you want. I know I'm the better man.

Either that, or the much more believable reason of you can't fit your fat ass out the front door.

in my opinion, posts like these deserve a ban.
 
i dunno about you guys, but from where i am from, you are obligated by culture to support your parents when they are in their old age- sometimes, this involves living with them to pay their bills and stuff if you can't afford buying them a house and separate payments...
 
if people make fun of you for living with your parents, they're just narrow minded.

it's better to just ignore and move along. What are you gonna prove by arguing? absolutely nothing. just let go of the competitive mind
