[quote=Anonymous]With mental health issues and disabilities it's common.

Apart from that it seems to be that kids are staying longer at home to try to save money, which I can see the benefit in that.

However that's where some parents treat them like adults, ie make their kids pay rent, do their own laundry, handle their own insurance etc.  And then their are some who are coddling the kids, mainly boys, enabling them.

They say it's because they care but a large part of the problem is that these mom's are getting something from this type of co-dependent relationship.  There are all the usual sayings "I am just trying to help", "I don't want him to stress", "we are so close, I have always done these things".  They complain and whinge but continue to cook, clean, do the laundry and essentially keep their child a boy.  They will even refer to them as boys, a girl would be called daughter, they wouldn't say my son, it's always my boy or my little boy.

There's a reason why there are so many issues with mothers cutting the cord.  Again this doesn't seem to be as much a problem with fathers so it's something mothers are doing and creating.[/quote]
