People living with their parents/parent

I see. I see. I am happy that everyone commenting on here has all left valid points in each of their own rights. So far it seems that it depends on the mentality of the individual person according to their culture. Thank you Blissful for your points as well.

In the UK it kinda becoming a norm at the moment for you to still be living with your parents up to 30 just to get on the housing ladder. This is due to housing being expensive and not enough houses being built in the UK at the current time.

I don’t think it’s really a turn off for me if someone is still living with their parents. Especially if it’s for medical reasons, taking care of a parent, etc. What is a turn off however is when someone is still living with their parents and is fully capable of working but doesn’t. Kinda makes me think that if we were to get together and things got serious I’d have to be providing for two people when I can barely provide for myself.

Given the wealth distribution among millennials, its more common than in past generations. The only people I know who actually live in a real house and not just an apartment or town house, either do so by living with a lot of roommates, or by moving back in with their parents. To me, my father and brother feel more roommates than anything else, because I tend to make the most money, and pay rent to live here. Rent that supplements my father's income and helps him hold onto the house. My brother can't work right now because he is a cancer survivor in remission. (Its more like they won't let him get a job at this point.) But he gets food stamps and aid from the government, and that helps with keeping the fridge full... Except it usually isn't, more for procrastination than poverty. ^__^; I mean I guess it could be considered weird if the person living with their parents isn't really allowed to grow up. And I do see that among a few of my friends. It's kinda disconcerting more than a turn off. Like two of my friends in particular are actually married, but both live a life of dependence on her parents. They don't have a vehicle between them, they aren't mentally adults yet, and yet they still plan on moving out despite never having lived on their own before.

It depends on the reason. If the parent or child is living with the other, but is working on trying to get financially stable to one year get a place of their own and afford it then there is nothing wrong with it. Like yall said. It's hard to financially support yourself to be able to live independently. Now here is the other side of the coin: if the reason for this is cuz they are too lazy to go out and get a job. Enjoy smooching off unpaid living just to goof around and not be a responsible adult then that is a major problem. Means they don't want to grow up and will eventually smooch off their spouses. Men AND women <- same with parents. If they stay with the kid jist to rip them off financially so they can go out party, control their children, and be a bum that's bad. I get wanting to look after family. If o dated a guy who lived with his parents but is working his tail off to get a better life and isn't controlled by his parents then I would date him cuz he is trying to make better for himself.

@Kameiya What if the parent does not go out and party? Or if they pull their weight by taking care of cleaning the property? Let's add a medical condition on top.

Snake: like I said in my previous post if they are together due to financial problems but are working and not goofing off then there shouldn't be anything wrong with it. Medical problems shouldn't be a problem either. Stuff happens.

I have no issues with this but I still think it's retarded that a guy gets looked down for still living at his parents home. For example, I'm still dependant on my parents due to some health issues that can't be 'fixed'. However, I still pursue a career which is IT. Got the skills and qualifications but the job market is a bit tough here and can't exactly go to other cities for work.
