Talk about lazy.

I read that story earlier this morning and just shook my head.

One thing I've noticed is that there are two kinds of pride. The bad kind, where one lacks humility, cannot ever admit error or mistake, and is generally hard-hearted...and the good kind, where a general sense of honor, ambition, maturity, and individuality propels one to achieve and accomplish on his own and to assert independence. It is clear that "the bad kind" is vastly more prevalent today.

What many parents have sired and reared is pretty sad.

I remember when I was very young, a family kicked their daughter out of the home when she turned 18. I thought that was such a terrible thing and vowed to never do it. Now, when I see things like this story, I can understand the wisdom of the parents doing that for the kids' own good. My parents sent me away to college when I was 19 and that ended my living at home days. I'm thankful for that.

My own kids stayed home too long, but they are all out on their own and productive now. I guess the joke about a grown person in their 30's living in mom's basement -- isn't really a joke sometimes............it's the reality.

I don't think that we are meant to live with our adult offspring. I love my kids and when they are gone from my house, I hope we still spend a LOT of time together. I hope we vacation together and stuff like that. But, no, I don't want to live with them.
 
I told all 5 of my kids that when they turned 18 that they were now considered guests when they stay d at the house and would act accordingly.

Never had an issue. And I’ll proudly state that all 5 are self supporting and doing well.

Did he pay rent ? If so I don't think their blood relationship should have anything to do with it. It would be no different than any landlord tenant situation.

My mom's favorite saying to us when we were kids and would complain about privacy ( or lack there of) or why we had to clean up OUR rooms, etc.. was " this is my house, and I just let you live here.". I say that to my kids all the time now too.
