[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is bizarre. I have several siblings and literally all of us "moved home to mom" once in our 20s. In my case, I was 27 just like OPs stepson. I had gotten a part time role in my field that was slated to roll into a full time role (it did!!!) and just gotten out of a live in relationship and couldn't afford rent by myself. I moved back home for 6 months, saved money, focused on doing really well at the part time role and then moved right back out once the job became full time. Similar story with all my siblings - moved home for 6-8 months and then moved right back out. We are all now in our last 30s/early 40s and doing well with careers and families.

I'm not reading anything in the original post to suggest that the 27 year old stepson is planning to stay forever. [/quote]

He’s unemployed and has no plans to get a job and hasn’t ever worked. His dad is the extent of his life PLAN.

That’s the definition of failure to launch and it would be very naive to think he’s going to be in a different place 6 months from now (or even 6 years from now.) [/quote]
