[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Usually "failure to launch" is just a rude term for someone who has intellectual, congitive, nueorcognitive and/or psychological struggles and either the parents went into deniaql and did not get adequate treatment or the parents did care, got help, but it was not enough.

Also, what is interesting is among the uber wealthy often it isn't referred to as "failure to launch" because the person lives off family wealth. I know several trust fund babies who label themselves as entrepreneurs or investors. Nobody bats an eyelash. If they are marries as long as they pay their pills-great. If the person is single, nobody seems to side-eye because the person doesn't live with parents. The person doesn't live with parents because there is lots of money to play with.[/quote]

I still consider it failure to launch, even if wealthy. Boss's daughter never held down a real job and flits around Europe in her 30s, totally on the parent's dime. I guess it's fine since they have the money to support it but I still don't consider her a fully "launched" adult. [/quote]
