[quote=Anonymous]1.  I know plenty of boys living in their parents basement. My ILs have 3 and the 2 who are out of school live at home and have their parents support their business.

2.  It's rare someone is going to say yes they are wistful for two reasons.  The first is what a PP suggested that everyone likes to pretend their lives are perfect.  The second is it would feel pretty crummy to say yes b/c that's like saying the kid(s) you have aren't enough.  The doesn't feel good and people don't want to say it (I wouldn't!).  So, they are going to tell you they definitely aren't wistful.  The ones that seem to have self-loathing about even being a female are likely, even unconsciously, passing that idea on to their sons.

3.  WHY do people start these?  It never ends well, make people defensive or feel bad about themselves.  We can't know what a different life is like b/c we don't live it.  We are all missing out on something, but that's OK.  We don't need to put down whatever we don't have to make our life situation seem better.  That doesn't show happiness and it doesn't MAKE us more happy.    [/quote]
