[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My coworker has two adults sons living with him and his wife. They both work full time and mom does everything (clean, cook, laundry). I always sense that the mom sort of likes having her sons in the house. So maybe failure to launch in some way benefits parents (even if it’s a psychological).[/quote] I don’t see this as a failure to launch. The kids have FT jobs and I would Imagine are banking a ton of $$$s to be able to buy their own homes when the time is right. Assuming they are out dating and everyone lives independently, then it seems fine. Perhaps all the cooking and cleaning is overboard. This especially makes sense in high cost areas. I also assume if the parents said hey, it’s time to go or they are selling the house and moving it wouldn’t result in a mental breakdown.[/quote]
