[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have two friends whose daughters are still living at home and refuse to work, even at waiting tables. They travel often to visit college friends. We have others where the work is very sporadic. Their kids keep moving in and out.[b] It seems like most of the couples are still paying for cell phones, help with rent, travel expense, etc. well into adulthood. One couple has paid for extended grad study for two kids, who are finally employed, one marginally. My sister is doing this too.[/b] My nephew is 30, back in grad school again, and, as far as I can tell, has never had a job that was more than a part time gig in a restaurant or bookstore. One friend whose son was a national merit scholarship winner worked for years at a pizza joint, got on with a start up, now laid off and now working at a  furniture factory. A couple others have formerly promising sons who are now fathers but unemployed or PT employed, living at home.
