Yeah no shite. Just an example of not having certain advantages but still being a productive member of society.

60 Minutes did a story in 2001 about the “mama’s boys” in Italy who live with mama into their 30s, even 50s, moving out only if they get married. Many chose not to.
We looked at them like freaks, but our society has changed to where we are close to that.
I like my parents, and I was broke and in debt when I graduated, but I thought of their house as a last refuge before a homeless shelter. I’d have moved into a shite apartment, had a roommate, slept on a couch, etc. before asking to come home. Times have obviously changed.
Many kids are also content to have mom drive them around forever. I was waiting outside the DMV when it opened on my birthday to get a license.

I had 6 siblings and we all moved back in over the years for 30-60 days between apartments, undergrad, jobs, houses etc...and all loved it. Free rent, hot showers, free laundry and we all would buy food. Once in awhile 2-3 siblings or just 1 depending on circumstances. Parents loved it as did we. We never wore out our welcome and knew when it was time to move on. All of us turned out to be productive members of society as well as homeowners. It was actually nice to live and be together as adults for a time.
My kids are welcome to have the same relationship, come and go as you please. I built a house big enough for that so I’m not bothered. As long as they are in school or working and being productive we are good. That was my parents requirement as well. Moving forward and they helped as will I. Mooch and your out but I don’t have to worry about that - my kids are productive.
I bought my first house when I was 23 and told my friends I could drink beer there instead of a barroom and it paid off. Saving while living with them helped a lot.

Be a man and kick your kids out!

How do address the nights they don't come home without calling, or leave at weird hours?
Just screen cap their location so if you need to call the cops, they’ve got a starting point. Then go to sleep.

Honestly I'd pay for their apartment before I'd let my adult children live with me

I have 3 still at home ... one is 25 and back home after graduation but is gainfully employed. Just trying to save a good bit of money -- usually does his own laundry, ironing when needed, mows the grass (would have a lawn service if he wasn't an engineer). The 2nd one is 20 and in school but none of his friends can afford to move into an apartment and he doesn't want to live alone (not that he could afford to) -- doing well in school, will be crawfishing for my husband after Christmas and does what is asked of him at home. #3 is a junior in high school and supposed to be here.

Kick them out and watch them grow.

I built my house with the goal to keep my boys around as long as possible. Whatever that makes me is fine by me.

My wife and I lived in her parents basement for about 6 months after we had been married for a year. We had our own apartment for the first year but weren’t really getting that far financially.
We both had solid jobs at the time and had a plan. Lived in their basement for 6 months saves up and bought a house.
Those six months were pretty shitty. But well worth it looking back on it.
Now they currently still have their 21 year old son and 24 year old daughter living with them

I wasn’t referring to getting a one bedroom apartment. As I said, rent a place with friends.

I lived at home into my mid 20s. I was single and gone 6 months out of the year. My dad worked offshore as well and my mother was not in the best health, she didn't like staying there alone. I never had controlling parents and came and went as I pleased.
