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.
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.
Someone has to change their full diapers.
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.
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.
“l8 and OUT!” (only exception: 22 if attending local college studying something USEFUL so they can support themselves when they graduate!)
It is the lack of jobs! And not just entry level!
parents who let their adult children move back in after age 18 are crazy (exception if kids are really studying at a local collge and majoring in something USEFUL that they can support themselves with when they graduate)
this is only hurting your kids, keeping them infantile
it may seem a nice helpful thing to do but it is
very, very bad parenting!
I wonder if they ever contemplate that the kid lives at home because laid-off dad and stay-at-home mom can’t get a job and maybe they subsist better on junior’s fast food paycheck and his Obamacare policy?
Go to the link below for a great political cartoon addressing this issue. Since it is a Compost cartoon, I can only post the link.

My brother is still with my parents.
He works 60 hours a week. Helps them out immensely because my mom is retired and dad has to still work to make ends meet.
He’s bright, just had to come of age in an era where all of his peers are expected to go to scam school (college), but he would have been better off going to a trade school.
Considering my parents live in a dodgy area at times, I’m personally glad he is there to look after them.

I’ve got three in the demographic. Two are completely on their own. One is just getting by but determined to make it. The third is in college. He’s home for the summer. His job has him working for a couple weeks near his campus so he’s going to crash with some of his roommates who are taking summer classes.
Helicopter parent payback.
failure to launch.
My parents are gone, G-d rest their souls.
They would not believe some of the stuff happening in the culture these days.

Not my kids...but then, of course, they were taught phonics and math WITHOUT a calculator, long before the schools ever got their creepy hands on them - and by then it was too late, they were too far ahead for the schools to damage.
