[quote=Anonymous]Many of these are being enabled by their families, and it is hard to feel sorry for the enablers.  There is definitely a lifetime of bad parenting at work here.  Why not mooch off mommy and daddy when they let you do it and there are no consequences for your actions, right?

I know my parents would help me if I ever got into a financial jam so bad that I couldn't fix, but there would be rules, expectations, etc.  And you can bet that I would work 3 jobs if I had to in order to work our way out of a hole.  But, I have pride and would be so ashamed to have to live off my parents as an adult.

Obviously this post is NOT directed at anyone who has a mentally or physically disabled family member - that doesn't count as failure to launch in my view.  Special needs are not the same as lazy or making poor decisions.

Oh, boy, our upcoming trip to visit my in-laws is going to be a BLAST.  Maybe my husband will finally have the balls to tell his brother to man up and stop mooching off their parents.[/quote]
