LIVING AT HOME till the are 40 ?

[Anonymous]

Is it common for 30 something year old to still live at home?

had jury duty yesterday and meet a 35 year old and 33 year old that are still living at home.

Will they ever move out?

Why do they need to move out?

Oh come on OP. You know it's not the norm. You just posted to gossip and talk bad about strangers. Pretty pathetic

This is called failure to launch. They are losers.

It really depends on a lot of factors including family dynamics and career choice. Housing is very expensive and if the folks are offering better living options than splitting an apartment with a random roommate, then it's easy to understand why the kids stick around. If Mom is an overbearing shrew, then the tiny apartment starts to look better every day. Also, student loans, which is why my kids go to in-state public schools.

Are they taking care of ill/elderly parents/relatives?

Or is this a failure to launch situation?

Both scenarios can have adults living at home, but the former is understandable. Living with random roommates is a FAR better and more respectable situation than living at home with your parents. Because the former makes you grow as a person.

It was two defendant that were charge for armed robbery, but they didn’t have enough evidence, both mothers talked about they are living at home and they are good kids.

It's very common in some cultures to stay at home until marriage. Some people choose to stay at home because they might not be able to afford living on their own or for whatever reasons. Maybe they care for their parents. Nothing wrong with it.

I know a guy who lived at home till he was in his late 50s, and he only finally moved out because his parents died and the house had to be sold. And no, he did nothing to take care of his parents. He was just living rent free and taking advantage of the free food and internet.

This is the most likely scenario.

Such an odd post. Why do you care? There are always outliers.

If it’s public housing it may be that they are listed as tenants so that the family doesn’t get downsized but live elsewhere. Just a possibility; what I am saying is that not everyone actually lives at their official address of record.

Two of my uncles did this. One bounced around on other relatives houses until he died in his early 60s and the other went to Asia and got a mail order bride.

Sure, but OP asked of this was the norm. Of course it happens, but unless you live under a rock, you know this is not the norm.

Well my adult special needs child who can barely read got called for jury duty and seated. Still lives at home. Still learning life skills. But if you served with him on that jury you would never have known. So you’d be judging my family. Maybe don’t be such an abilist.
