Incomplete without a picture of pajama boy.
Government’s insatiable demand for the output of others force both parents in two-parent households to work full time. That same demand - along with regulation causing huge increases in the price of everything from food to clothing to appliances to vehicles - has impoverished kids suckered into attending universities.
Exactly the way the RATS want it.Renters vote for RATS,owners vote GOP.
So what happens to the moronials when the older working generation retires?
There are so many bad things about our “modern” society that led to this. Some are economic — young people simply can’t afford houses anymore in some parts of the country. Some are social — liberal propaganda has completely destroyed the social construct that young people get married and have kids in their 20s, or ever. Liberal society wants young people to be wards of the state, not property-owning, married couples.
I would rather have my kids living with us after college while working and trying to save up for a house, and keep the money in the family, than to give money to another family in the form of rent.
This is trouble for one version of the “American dream” but could that, in fact, have been a kind of slow American nightmare?
The last verse of the Old Testament talks about turning the hearts of the fathers to the sons and vice versa “lest [God] should strike the land with a curse.”
Not every extended household is a Pajama Boy household.
I know of a lot of renters who have voted GOP and many owners who vote Dem. It really depends upon where one lives.
OTOH, this infantilization, of what was once considered to be an ADULT, is what the Dems want.
Many cultures have extended families without being “infantile” about the youngest adults.
I try to look what God has wrought, not necessarily man.
My nephew still lives with my sister, but he’s no pajama boy.
Just stupid. ( not that the pajama boys aren’t)
Good question. From what I’m seeing with thier parents, they will not retire at the normal age. They will be working much longer. These kids learned poor financial habits somewhere!
Fake their way onto disability?Cash out their inheritance?
Someone has to change their full diapers.
Could this pressure encourage the creation of family enterprises once again? With the successes of modern medicine, elders are living to more and more viable years.
They are trying to spin this as a result of preferred cultural changes as opposed to the real reason, an economy that doesn’t work for young people.
Especially young males.
Of course the irresponsible are going to have kids on our dime anyway which makes the problem worse.
True, to some extent; however, the American Millennial generation is THE most infantile adults, who have ever lived!
It makes perfect sense to me. I’m glad my kids live here. They will leave soon enough. They have rooms and can save money. Apartments are insanely expensive. Jobs are few and far between. My brother lived at home til he was probably 25, then he bought a house. There should be no rush toward living far from the family who loves you. Family is important.
And with two-earners having to work full-time, who better to take care of the kids than the kids’ grandparents. It’s not like houses aren’t big enough to accommodate them.
