Actually, things would have to be pretty darn bleak before I would have moved back in with my Mom. Maybe temporarily.... but believe me, I would have taken the first job offered to me. That being said, my Mom told all her kids that they “always had a back door” (meaning for whatever reason... bad marriage, loss of job etc) you had somewhere to go.
The parents allowing these “Kids” to move back home are nothing but liberal enablers. They’ll get by on their own. I doubt there is anywhere in this country where they can’t get a job at a Fed EX warehouse, etc. but these jobs are beneath “mommy’s little darling”. Make these kids grow a pair, it will do them good to live on ramen noodles for a few months.
