[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Define failure to launch specifically. Like has job but has to live at home? Or never finished college? At what age is an adult child still ‘figuring things out’ and at what age does it become ‘failure to launch’? [/quote]

If by 25, they don't have a degree, a job, a partner and paying their own rent, they are failing to launch and by 30 if things don't improve, they've failed. That being said, some people are late bloomers so never say never but its not easy to turn life around after 30. [/quote]

"A partner at 25" is doing some very heavy lifting here

Thinking we were ready to be married at 25 is actually probably why my ex and I are divorced today

I think a lot of this thread is filled with posters of singular experience, probably with siblings whom they resent for getting more than  they did from their parents, or something.

And somehow people tell me I'm lucky that my son and his wife want to move back here and take my house over for me.

My brother lives in another country and he's lived since his 30s since moving there to study ... he actually supports her whole family.

Where they live, it only takes 1K a month to maintain all of them.

Failure to launch is some kind of American capitalist thing, and then there are whole message boards about how parents don't talk to their kids, or kids don't talk to their parents

And I am American[/quote]
