no....when i grow up who is gonna take care of my mum?plus when i am like 21-29 watever she is oready old...she cant take care of herself rite?....i need to take care of her rite?its just like she took care of me when i was young....its repaying gratitude
and i agree with Dark Soul
Maybe not 21 but soon after. It's hard to get started on your own sometimes. Things are so expensive.
In some ways yes. I know someone who is 32, and has never moved out of his parents home.
nope, your wrong. if i had the chance to go back and live with my mum i would do it
No, not necessarily. Though I can't say the same for someone who passes judgment on them so easily.
No,but i think my mom wishes i did.
no..... some people live with their parents so long because the parents need help or have a hard time letting go of their children...that is what is was like for my uncle
Well I'm 20 and I still live with my mother. but that's just cos I have no money to buy/rent a house xD Or to go back home for good.
Well that depends on the circumstances. If you don't have a physical or mental disability of some kind then yes you need to get a job and get out!
a loser, or someone saving to buy a house, or someone whose mother lost a husband so you move back in to help her with the mortgage and help her as much as possible. Don't cast stones.
So Scarlett what you are saying is that a man has to be self sufficient but a woman doesn't? Wow looks like the feminist movement was for nothing.
no
some people stay to take care of their parents
or they are saving for bigger things
Depends on the situation judgmental person
Ummm no my mom lives with her mother because my grandmother can't live alone and my mom refuses to put her in a nursing home. My mother works full time plus takes care of my grandmother, I give my mom so much credit because I couldn't do it.
My mother did own a home but sold it shortly after my grandfather died knowing she would have to move in with her mom to take care of her, she didn't wanna sell it but you do what you gotta do for family
Who in the hell told you that? I'm 19, living with my parents. My parents have raised me to become what I am now. They provived me food, clothes, everything. Now when THEY are in need, getting older, shouldn't I be there looking after them? I'm a female, if I have to I will never get married just to look after them. That's just the dumbest question I've ever seen. So are parents losers if they are there for their children?
Edit: I am so glad there are still people that think that way. Bless. This world isn't totally curropted with people like this dude. That's what keeping this world up, the good people that aren't ungrateful and selfish.
I don't think so - I mean, maybe in some cases - but I'm female and I lived with my family till I was 27 and got married. My mom is 56 and still lives with her parents - they're in their 80s and she feels compelled to be with them; she said she couldn't live, she fears they would die if she did. Also, it comes down to money, if you don't have it, there aren't many other options. There are many different situations, it's not nice to judge.
What about people who care for their parents because theyre ill or disabled?
I think the truly pathetic people are the ones who judge others without knowing what theyre talking about.
Edit
I think they should pass a law that says
Youre not allowed to call people retarded or loser
Unless you know how to spell retarded and loser
My sister, 23 and still lives with us, we're Hispanic so the rule is that girls should only leave home when they get married.
Depends on the situation really. some ppl go through tragic events in their lives, like losing a loved one or even their entire family, and so they need that moral support from their moms/dads in order to make it through.
*im 25' graduate from U of Illinois (go ILLINI!) and i have a full time job as a Coordinator, and im with my mom. shes a single mom, and i still have a younger sister. i help my mom out since none of our dads will...i dont consider myself pathetic... i consider myself a daughter looking out for her family, the way my mom did me.
no. if they are 21 or older and are working and going to school they clearly are not loser! but if they are over 21 and have no job and are not going to school then yes i can see them being called losers.
No sir they are not. My best friend lives with her elderly mother to care for her and love her every single day. She is anything BUT a loser. She's my hero. She is genuinely unselfish and loves unconditionally. Now you go on back to class where you belong.
Well it all depends on their situation.
But yes, there are some lazy, gold-digging adults out there that suck off of anybody that they can get to.
My sister is 35 and moved back with my dad to help him take care of his farm and look after him because he's getting older and can't do things like he used to.
If you consider that being a loser than you have some serious issues.
Edit:
unabomber, people don't hate you for being independent, they dislike you for assuming that anyone who is over your age and is helping a parent out by living with them is pathetic.
Wait until you're 80 years old and can't live on your own without your kids help....suppose they thought like you?
no not at all everyones life is different...not everyone has the graduate highschool go away to college lifestyle...maybe they go to a local college or none at all, or maybe they have kids and can't afford to live on there own everyones situation ids different..I'm 20 and i still live wit my mom and have no plans on moving anytime soon so..
I was out of my house at 19. People who live with their parents by the age of 21 or later are just losers.

edit: I love the fact how people hate on me because I'm independent and am gainfully employed. I feel sad for those are not. Mind you, I have no college education. I'm 21 too.
i agree.
going to college is kind of the point:
getting a job and your own place.
Yeah, I suggest that people who are 17 or over should live with their gf.
Everybody lets laugh at those who still live with their parents.
I believe you should be out of the house by 21. I would never in my life date a man that was an adult and lived with his parents.
I left home at 17, and never went back........but there are poeple who live in my neighborhood that are in their 40s and still living at home..........sad
I know a guy I went to school with that still lives a home with his parent at age 38. Can you say Loooooser with a capital L.
Often, yes. If you are not in school it is time to venture out on your own. I would not say everyone over 21 that still lives with their parents is pathetic. If they remain there because of poor choices (lack of education, had a baby too young), or the fear of leaving the nest, then yes, I would consider them to be pathetic.
If they remain in the house while getting an education or helping with a family member that is ill it is honorable.
