No it is not. I am an example of this I live at home but I pay my parents rent, I pay my car insurance, I pay for any gas I use. It has nothing to do with riding some one coat tails it has to do with moving out is not possible.
The fact remains that until you are out on your own - you really haven't a clue and you are NOT independant. Mom is possibly still cooking your meals, cleaning up after you, paying for your food, your heat etc.
You lose. | |

Posted: 12/5/2008 5:40:57 AM | Absolutely NOT!!!!!! I take serious offense to the people that state your not fully independant because mommy still cooks your meals.
If you were freeloading like so many do then yes, however, like so many people these days your paying your own way! I know for myself, I pay the mortgage every other month, the electric every month, I do all the grocery shopping, and a large portion of the cooking and cleaning. My staying at home allows my "retired" parents to keep their home! | |

We want to look away, but sometimes morbid curiosity gets the best of us and we just can't... | |

Posted: 12/7/2008 3:51:58 PM | psssst, your comments were totally correct.
darknight, believe me when I say I am not tracking your posts, nor am I interested in anything you may have to say. I just clicked on this redundant thread to see if it matched the other thread. it does!!! surprise, surprise, surprise! (a gold star to whoever remembers who said that!)
morbid curiousity about covers it, as does this comment:
yawn, yawn, yawn. | |

Posted: 12/7/2008 11:26:07 PM | People on here are just too sad I don't know how to take it, but whether or not you live in a small place all by your lonesome is not a good judge of your character. I am more proud of a man that might live at home with his family and takes care of them and puts in his fair share of the family duties while going to school, working and doing whatever else inspires that person, than someone who values status and the almighty dollar to show how he is not a team player and only thinking about himself. Maybe it's one half of the culture I grew up in, but family to me is very important. And I give a big thumbs down to people saying they don't like a man living with his family, because, oh, their first priority is how soon they can get in each other's pants? Another sad sign of our culture! Ugh! Anyway, there's my rant.lol Dark Knight, don't let these people get you down!
Oh, and I lived with my mom for all the years I had her in my life and I don't regret one minute of the fun, the laughs and time I spent with her. I surely don't want to look back and wonder why I didn't spend more time with her when it's too late. And yes, I made enough at my job to pay everything because my mom helped me go to school and get a good education and she deserved the best back in return. =)

Don't worry I am not letting them get to me they have the right to think how they want | |

Posted: 12/14/2008 5:20:19 AM | I think people are being to harsh on you. I do not think it is a turnoff to live with your parents. I live with my mother, and no I do not have a room in the basement. In these days economy, I figured I would have to out and find a roommate to have a place with in the first place, so I decided to buy a house with my mother. She would be the best roommate to have. At least I would not lose friends over money issues, as they might not be able to pay their way. Like him I do not live off of my parents. There will be someone out there that will not mind. And if they do you just have to say F**k 'em.

Posted: 12/14/2008 7:02:18 AM | Alot of people find it a turn off, well i personally still live with my parents, i wish i could live on my own, but right now, everything just costs too much, moneywise, its more easier to live at home, besides, i help my mom out when she needs it cause she has MS.
The way i see it, is if someone you are interested in is still living at home and helps his/her mom when they can, wouldn't it make them look more nicer then people that move out at a young age?
I think it does, but thats just me. | |

Maybe but that still does not mean that if I move out I can not handle the responsibility. I lose I lose what? What does that even mean? | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 1:02:47 PM | Never mind your concerns about dating, that should be the least of your and society's concerns at this point. You are a non-functioning adult. You should have been out and contributing nearly a decade ago, yet you are enabled by weak parents and supported by a lot of pathetic enablers who have no business giving anyone advice. If it's not your parents tit you suck from it would be the government's, errrrrrr taxpayer's! If you wanted to move out/find a job that can support you it would have happened, no accidents here. Drag yourself down to the nearest Army recruitment center, see the world, you've got maybe a year left before you are not even welcome there.
If you do anything (work, volunteer) you are a functioning adult. It is not that easy to say that people can just move out. I do not want to say anymore because I do not want to feed the troll. | |

Posted: 12/15/2008 6:25:45 PM | Ahh, don't listen to all the hype. You just make sure YOUR ready to go out on your own. Now if it comes up in a future relationship, just be honest why you are still living at home. There is no shame with living with mom and dad for financial reasons. Some ladies on here have a problem with it for some strange reason, why? Beats me. They say it's a mama's boy syndrome. I say BAH to them. It's BS! I'm guessing that they don't care for their parents(assuming) and was just waiting to get the hell outta Dodge.
I still live at home, why, cause I choose to, I am not able to go out on my own just as yet. I am in a great relationship and my S/O thinks it's so cute, why, I dunno. So, just take your time, and then again, no one really has to know unless it is brought up. | |

Posted: 12/19/2008 1:29:36 PM | Yes it's a huge turn off.
Mom doing your laundry, cleaning your room, and cooking your meals and you're 35 is a huge turn off.
There seems to be an entire generation of mostly males, who are reluctant to grow up and leave the nest.
They'll never see how utterly dependent and childlike they really were until they move out and be on their own. | |

Good job lets make assumptions about every man who lives at home. Why do people make dumb statements like this? | |

Posted: 12/20/2008 2:41:04 AM | 22 here, and I am still living with my parents because I am going to school full time. As long as things continue as they should, I will be graduating with my Associate's degree in 2010, then switching over to part time college while working presumably full time, and still live with my parents until I get at least my Bachelor's degree. From there, presuming I have the right amount of funding saved up, either leave the nest to go to another city and start in on my solo leg in life and call my academic stage done, or go for my Master's degree.
tl;dr version - I'm a student who knows he isn't yet ready for long term relationships. | |
