I moved out at a very young age so I dont know what its like to be living at home at 25 but I can tell - if you enable them now - you will still be supporting them at 30+ I have 3 examples
My father - 52 always works 40+ hours a week but spends his money renting movies instead of paying his bills, never buys a car that costs more than $500 at a time - up until my grandmother passed away last summer she was stil lending him $20 here and there for him to get lunch or gas during the week. I dont know what he'll do now that she's gone - because my grandfather tells him to grow up everytime he asks
My BIL 33 in the last 10 years has had 50+ jobs (never for more than a month or two at a time) has done the medical testing things where they shoot you up with a drug, you get a few thousand, and then tell them what your side effects were (it still kills me that this is legal
) Has never had his own place, thank GOD does not have kids but moves from family member to family member looking for a couch to crash on (and no he has NEVER stayed on our couch)
My step sister 20 - lives at home, works full time making $8 an hour - wont go to college, wont look for a better job yet tells me she has to get out and get her own place because she doesn't like the $50 a week my mom and her boyfriend are charging her to live there. Tells me in a not so nice tone when I got my new trailblazer "geez it must be nice to be able to drive something like that" yep it is! She did tell me last week her and her boyfriend are getting their own place, I said well start buying the things you need now for your apartment, first thing she buys...penguin bathroom decor
whatever
the point is all 3 of these people have 1 thing in a common - a parent that never put a foot up their ***.
