[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He is your son. Doesn't he have a room in your house? [/quote]

Ugh, he's 24.  [/quote]

Really? I'm 44 and I have a room at my parents' house. Of course they use it for a guest room too, but the closet is still filled with childhood stuff and everyone refers to it as my room (and my brother's room is referred to as my brother's and has his stuff; it still has his twin bed).[/quote]

That's pathetic.[/quote]

Not really. Some families aren't anxious to get rid of the memorabilia of their lives. [/quote]

So maybe this is cultural because I am Mexican American but my parents have always kept a room for me and my sister no matter where they moved. And they have moved a lot even when we left home at 18 for college because my dad was army.  I even stored stuff in my room when I was like 30 and made a big move of my own. I just find this odd because a lot of Americans don't move like we did so I assume these people live in the same home they raised their kids in and they will probably die there because that is what Americans do. So it would make sense he has a room from his childhood. [/quote]
