Twenty-seven year old children? Doesn’t anybody grow up and reach adulthood anymore? They are supposed to be adults WAY before the age of 27 and if they are not it is the fault of the parents. They need to get out of mommy and daddy’s basement, get a job and pay for their own insurance.

Yeah, we live in a world of extended childhood. We need to teach responsibility and accountability to our kids at a much younger age as well as teach them to have good thought processes and then hope for the best. I admit, I live at home myself, I'm at early middle age, help take care of Mom and 2 cats but the point is that I work and put my shekels in the pot as well as do my share of the work. As long as they do that, living at home is not a problems but if they suck off Mom and/or Dad without giving anything back and acting like grown kids, then it is a problem. I know my grandfather, he had a full time job at 13 or 14 when he quit school around 1914 or so.
