I have the solution, at age 30 each person must report to carousel ...
otherwise known as liberals....
Hope and change, baby
My mother did start charging me rent, and I saved money for when I did move out (and my wife and I paid for our own wedding, as well), so it was win-win.
Now, that's not to say that there isn't something seriously wrong with 30 year-old paperboys living in the basement
The work ethic is not “dying” in the younger generation.
It was killed by their parent's generation, who were too stupid to realize that focusing them on school and sports in their teens instead of having them get a job and develop a work ethic before the developmental stage in which that happens had passed was a bad idea.
Even a lot of freepers are that effing stupid. They bought into a lie that academics was enough. Sometimes ridicule actually is the correct approach, and these parents have fully earned it.
Some of your thesis is correct, but some of this is symptomatic of our declining standard of living.
You’ll see a LOT more of this (both young adults and old people) in the future.
Single family homes will become much more of a “luxury” for Americans in the future.
My kids have been told that they are welcome to move back in - so long as they have a full time job (even flipping burgers), follow our rules, do their share of chores, pay for their own share of food, and give half of their after tax pay to us as rent. They would do it in an emergency or during a temporary transition, but they know that I’ll think less of them if they do it out of laziness.
Hell, it only costs 89 dollars just to fill their gas tank...After the high costs of rent, sky high food, insurance, utilities etc etc...
Hells bells, so what in their in the hole, -900 per month!
They all must be lazy.
This is really a pet peave of mine. Blaming it on the job market is completely misguided. I left home at 18 for college, bought my first house at 24, build my own house at 34. My brother - divorced twice, lived at home (while married to #1), moved back in after divorce from #2. I play hockey with a number of guys in their mid 30s who still live at home. And the worst part? They are not shamed by it at all. Yet they wonder why they can’t find a wife.
One of my friends in Japan is a fire house captain in Yokohama. The only way he could afford his home was to put a new house on the same land his father's home had been on. It seemed quite common to move out, have your house leveled, and have a new one put in its place.
Liberal poison has destroyed part of the current 20-30s generation. Largely responsible for the current Big Baby in the White House, tantrums included.
My oldest daughter works full time, does more than her share of the chores, buys groceries, is a delight to have around and willingly takes on many of the errands involving my mother which would otherwise fall to me.
As an added bonus, she also takes my wife clothes shopping, a chore most American men enjoy about as much as getting a root canal.
I know what will fix this. And although I hate it, it’s coming.
When I turned 18 my !@#$ was stacked out on the front porch, I’ve been on my own ever since. That’s the way it ought to be done ...
This is the weirdest damn Recovery I’ve ever seen!
When ‘mommy and daddy’ die, these ‘kids’ are in for a rude awakening... and life as street bums.
Italy => “mammismo” or mamas’ boys
Japan => “parasite singles”
United States => Democrat Underground posters
