[quote=Anonymous][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 agree with this. My 30 something cousins work full time, make good money and live with their parents. One of them has a girlfriend he stays with sometimes and one doesn't date. My aunt absolutely loves having them at home because it makes her feel like she's still a young mother. She tries to commiserate with me about "cooking for boys" even though my boys are actually children![/quote] 30+ years old living with their parents? Bad signaling or most would assume someone in the house has mental issues. [/quote]
