Pathetic and abusive. The parents are allowing themselves to be abused by the "kids". When you legally become an adult you are responsible for yourself. My oldest is 18 and about to graduate. I told her if she isnt in a trade school or college she is out on the street. Period. As a parent I will help, for the ( actual ) good of the "child" but not be abused.
Not saying, in any way that we shoudnt help our kids to succeed in life, but what I see nowadays is far beyond that.

I sent the link to my mother in law and my wife. The oldest sibling of my wife lives at home, has no job and the room she lives in looks like a tornado blew through it. She pays zero bills and does squat around the home to help. Shes 45
Then there is her son. He lives in a home paid for by another, has no job and has wrecked two cars my mother in law bought. Hes quit jobs given to him by family members and refused to work in my FIL shop. Hes 24
The both of them are leeches on society IMO. Ive told my son countless times I wont support him if he turns down a road halfway close to them. Its down right disgusting people can take advantage of anyone that way much less their own flesh and blood

I'd do anything for my kids as long as they're doing for themselves. But...I didn't raise my kids to want to be taken care of by their parents forever. I raised them to want to go out and make something of themselves. I can guarantee you that if you traced back the lives of these deadbeat "kids" you'd find some parents that were enabling them long before they became adults.

Just bought my first house. I’m 25 my gf is 24. Went and met the neighbors and their 24 year old unemployed son who’s still living at home. Kind of amazes me how many people just don’t take the initiative to leave. I know when I turned 18 I was itching to leave

I wasn’t told to leave at 18, I was living at home going to a community college with plans to transfer to a university, when I was 19-20 I stopped going because I was working making what I thought was good money at the time. At that point I was told “son people do one of two things after high school. Go to college or get a career job and move out. You stopped going to college so your moving out, hope you get a career job and good luck” looking back that was the best thing that happened to me..

Parenting has changed so much since I was a kid. Now it’s more of a “friendship” relationship instead of getting kids ready for the mean real world...

Parents are to teach and train. Not be besties. Proverbs 22:6.
