[quote=Anonymous]In my extended family there are a few failure to launch and boomerang types and the common factor in each case is enabling behavior by the parents where they coddle them and let the adult kids basically do whatever they want while being continuously supported and bailed out. I never see any pressure from the parents to make their kids become self sufficient adults. I think the parents do it because they’re afraid of losing their relationship with their children if they’re too harsh, but the children take advantage of this fear to use their parents as a bank account and/or free lodging.
