| Women in their 30s and 40s living with their parents
Posted: 8/3/2008 12:26:53 PM | | I just came across a thread where it describes dating men still living with their parents. This question is really for men - but women can provide their feedback too. Would a man date a woman still living with her parents. I am curious to know. | |

Posted: 8/4/2008 6:21:34 AM | Well I live with my Mom... She lost her job before Christmas...we live in a small town, so employment is not that great when over 100 other people were laid off as well.. and well most of them are a whole lot younger than she is (she's retirement age) The layoff came as a big surprise after working at a place for 34 years... I needed a babysitter... So this is kinda killing two birds with one stone... I don't have to drag my daughter away from Grandma after work anymore, and if I have to work late i don't have to worry about my babysitter freaking out and charging me extra time.
I'm 33 and had been living on my own since I was 19... so I have experienced life.. and haven't tormented my mom all these years haha... We moved in, in April.. and so far so good. I have a house that I own in a different town, which I rent out... I pay my mom rent, She's my best friend, so it's more of a room mate situation than me living with my Mommy. I think people need to find out someone's story before they pass judgement as to wether or not they would date someone because of their living situation.
Besides when I was younger, my Grandmother lived with us, and I had the best relationship with her... I want my daughter to experience that! | |

if you are in ur 30's and 4o's and still living with your parents.. something is not healthy there... I do not care how u skin the cat.. the bottom line is... its just wrong... tempoprary is ok .. for just let's say 3 to 6 months.. crap happens, or you are 22 going going to school trying to make it in the cruel cruel world...you know what I mean jelly bean? anything more than that...its just not right... grow up and move out... make it in the world "ON YOUR OWN"... its not the 50's anymore... just my 2 cents ... what examples are you showing your kids..its ok to sponge off the parents ..heaven forbid if they were to die.. what would u do then...fall apart? Take the freaken bull by the horns ...and roll with the punches!
I would not date a guy living with the parents.. are u kidding me? 
Yes, I like to pass judgement, yes I will .. since, they are asking for my free opinion.."it's like this"... if my 21 yr old daughter can make it on her own ... shame , shame on you 30 and 40 yr olds.. can beat you with a wet noodle 
Cheerios

Posted: 8/7/2008 12:02:14 AM | This is a good one. 
I dont see anything wrong with a lady or man living at home if its for the right reasons.
If every one gets along with no arguments and they are helping each other out then why not. I stayed with mine till they passed away and it was not for the free ride let me tell you, but I would do it again if I had the chance cause when they are gone then you realize what you are missing.
As for the dating thing why not date someone that lives at home I would in a minute.
And for you Miss Tique LOL shame on you for wanting to beat someone with a wet noodle kinky  
You all have a good one and dont forget give someone a hug today.  | |

Without gov't help (read 'your tax dollars going to it'), most people would NOT be getting that higher education. Without help, no subsidized housing. No welfare. Nothing. So, if the help comes from staying at home, you are less of a burden on society. You are using the family resources to gain your ends, rather than depending on the collective community to aid you along.
Sure...some people would "never date someone living at home." Their decsion. They are looking for someone who could set up their own nest for them. Soemone to look after them. On their terms. Usually...but not always.
I've seen some 30+ yr olds who are living at home yet bringing in a lot of money...why? Because they get what they are looking for at home. Wash done or meals prepared or companionship, whatever...they have no need to go out and set up their own household. Why buy a cow when milk is free?
Living "on your own" is nothing compared to trying to live with a family. They eat up your time, money, space, etc. When you can handle all that, and still keep sane at the end of the day...then, you have something to be proud about. Why be a hermit? | |

I guess it depends on culture or situation - either is sad.
For a man - it would be just plain old fashioned sick. Either the man's a worthless idiot, sponging off mom's free rent, no backbone, no courage, not much of a real life, can't cook for himself, driving in the BMW and showboating because he has no bills, or the worst of all - A mamma's boy.
For a woman - that depends. If it's for the same reasons as above .... you suck! lol But, in general, woman tend to be more "mother-ly" ... so I guess that could change my opinion.
Before you bash lol - It's an opinion :P | |
