re: Do any of you have a stay at home 'hub-son'?

I definitely think the "lol you live in your moms basement" stereotyping is more of a Gen X/Millennial thing and its more socially acceptable now
I don't argue that
but the fact that the stereotype existed tells me how common it was when we were growing up as well

I do think there’s a certain group of people who don’t want to work tons of OT at jobs and lose work/life balance. But most just want to afford to live like an adult.
I worked a ton of OT working turnarounds in plants every Summer when I was in college to get ahead. You do what you have to do. It's life.
You proved my point, though, about instant gratification. They don't want to work OT at a young age because it would get in the way of their personal life. Keep in mind that the anti-CEO pay movement we have seen in the past decade started with a lot of kids starting out thinking they were owed the same pay levels as C-Suite executives.
I wouldn't want to work OT forever, but at a younger age, I would be willing to do it (and did so) to get ahead of my peers and improve my situation.

Just more stout bullshite that you can’t back up other than that’s “how you feel”

I am not saying it never happened. I am saying it wasn't acceptable.
That stereotype was to bully people and discourage it. Articles like the OP and cute names (as you pointed out) are to make it socially acceptable.

yet there is also this whole "hustle and grind" culture on social media as well that glorifies working non stop in your 20s.
I don't know. I just assume social media is lying.

Yea I think that is the next generation behind this one that is also said to be more conservative overall.

You forgot about the "We are the 99%" slogan from Occupy Wall Street.

yeah whenever one of our projects cuts down to 40 hours we lose most of the young hands either to projects that still offer OT or to competitors that are offering it.

Trad-sons like Luke — a former door-to-door solar salesman, who ditched the $170,000 vocation and moved back into Patty’s place this summer
So stay at home women have told us that they should make about $180,000 a year after they add up all they do at home being a stay at home parent, caretaker, "chef," housekeeper, etc.
They also tell us that women only make $0.75 for every $1 a man makes.
So these stay at home men are worth at least $240,000/yr.
Sounds like he's got it all figured out. It's math!

So they raised bums and instead of facing it head on, they rename it to feel better about what they’ve done.
Sounds like a lot of shite from the left.

My cousin is exactly this. Has had good jobs in the past but has been living with his mother and jobless for 5 years now. They are not wealthy, either. Basically both live off of her social security. He's going to be in for a rude awakening when she dies at some point and he has no savings, income history for SS, and has a 20 year gap in employment on his resume.

He could do like that one family did a while back and not report her death for years so the SS check keeps coming.

Just another push to demasculate American males...
Add that to guys in the Swiffer, laundry and dish washer detergent commercials as well.
How many black guys you think obsess over clean baseboards and get excited over their Swiffer able to clean them?

I know it’s purely anecdotal, but from what I’ve seen of my son and his friend group that he went to HS with who all graduated between 2019-2021 and are now in their early to mid 20s, overall most of them are doing quite well for themselves. I know at least 3 or 4 who are married, two of those already have kids. And of those two, both have wives who are stay at home moms. Another one has a good job with CSX railroad, another just finished at Auburn and now has a job with Delta, and another has a good fleet sales job with Freightliner. I can only think of a small handful who’ve gone down the wrong road and either failed to launch or got in trouble.
Oddly though, a good number of the girls from his HS days haven’t done that well. Many still live at home and are either unemployed or maybe have a menial job, some have got into legal trouble, drugs, single-motherhood, etc.

Their dad died last year and spent a decade bed ridden with a stroke and fighting cancer in the home. So the boys were always felt sorry for and not forced to nut up and go out and build a life.
What sucks is that it's a "good" excuse - seeing your not so old dad die a slow agonizing death would totally screw up anyone.
But, everyone has burdens and you have to push through them anyways. The sons need to realize that theyre the only ones capable of building their own lives and theyre the only ones stopping themselves right now.

Hey whatever works. Every family situation is different, and if all are consenting adults and fine with the arrangement, who am I to judge? In some cultures, its normal for kids and parents to all live under one roof.
I sort of understand this point. But when the Mom refers to her kid as her “hub-son” there is just something fricky and weird going on.

shite no. If my daughter or stepdaughter ever had to move back into my house for whatever reason, they would be hating life.
They would be contributing labor and rent to the household but without the freedoms that they're accustomed to.
