[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of these parents are going to want their kid to move in with them again when they’re 80 and need help? That’s what the old-fashioned “failure to launch” maiden aunts did in my family. If we had more of them we wouldn’t need assisted living facilities.[/quote] There is an FTL adult child in my family who has not paid his own rent in decades. The expectation now is that he will care for his mom, who is now in her 80s, going blind, and badly in need of regular care. But because he's FTL, he's mad about this expectation and complains that his siblings, all of whom live at least a 5 hour drive away, have minor kids, and work full time, don't do enough. He is unemployed and lives in an apartment owned by his mother. This is the problem with FTL kids. They do not want to contribute. [/quote]
