That’s a bingo and is alway why so many men are foregoing relationships or even working in the first place.

“The adult child should have never been allowed to stay/come back”

When I was 21 I went home for a few weeks while my ex was in basic training. It was temporary from the get-go. And I worked and paid rent. After that, I couldn’t imagine living back home again. I’d be a bag lady first.

Your logic is hard to argue against. I guess I lament that there are so many horrible women in the first place.

Thanks. FReepers rarely disappoint when asked software questions like I just did.

Cannot recall a single grandparents pair in my/our circles that ever got or even thought of divorce.

The family law, divorce business too much now.

Cannot recall any specialty divorce legal firms back then either

It seems to be mostly males that have a harder time leaving. I rarely here of females in their mid 20’s living at home...barely working and mooching off a parent(s)

Its mental.
Else, an individual in their mid 20’s..capable of work ..who doesn’t pay rent and isn’t even required to pay for their own food..IF they were moderately MOTIVATED..and if they worked a $15 an hour job.. could easily save $15k in a years time.
The last 10 years they could have banked $100,000-150,000.
But only IF they we’re moderately MOTIVATED.

i know i had a cousin who lived at home with Mommymommymommy until he died at age 60.
did not work past the age of 21. She’d bellyache, but there he was. Nothing wrong with the guy physically.
Crazy stuff there.

Do you want horrible White women to have children? Maybe horrible White women are better off not raising children.

Spanish machismo just might save America. We need more immigrants. (Legal ones)

Our population is becoming too woke. So we need to be replaced because we are not reproducing ourselves.
