Many young people with good college degrees cannot even find work after graduation and there are people who were laid off that can’t find work for a year or more. It is the economic way to circle the wagons for a family and live together until such time that the kids find work. I don’t think that anyone in that family is enjoying the situation. I know that at my church we pray for the unemployed that they may find work and I have been approached by tearful parents with the request to pray for their unemployed son/daughter.

Many parents would give up their lives if it could secure a job for their child.
I’ve put 3 of my 4 kids thru college and have just finished with my son in law. Him, my daughter and 2 grand kids have been living with me for about 7 years while he was in school. It’s a big house and I’m single, so I don’t mind them here. We all get along and he’s knocking down $70K/year paying me rent & utils.
They’ve been pushed home because of lack of jobs and affordable housing - hardly a reason to champion more immigrants!
Angela Merkel said this about Germany, and welcomed 2.5 million Muslims.
Now their country's culture is vanishing.
Soon they'll all be under sharia.
They are living at home because they can’t get a good job.
They can’t get a good job because we lowered the import tariffs and let too many jobs and industries go overseas.
They aren’t marrying because they can’t afford to take care of themselves much less someone else or raise kids.
And the immigrants we let in are part of the problem. They are taking the jobs that are still here from Americans.
Close the border, and restore the tariffs. Use the tariff revenue to cut taxes. More Americans will be working and keeping more of their income and spending their income into the American economy. Win win win win win win win.

This is by design—the System creates so much debt and wastes 10 years of “teenagers’ life—keeping them DUMB AS STUMPS. People like Ben Franklin were working by 13 and was able to learn a trade to keep him wealthy (and free) for life. They were raising children by the time they were 22 or so, as God designed.
The Marxists wanted marriage and the Natural family destroyed since before Lenin who destroyed the marriage contract and made marriage meaningless, so it would be destroyed and the Natural family could be made obsolete, so they could destroy the common sense and virtue in all little children and warp their concepts of male/female to flip 2000 years of Christian Ethics. (Without Virtue, there is no freedom possible.). The Leftists want to eliminate billions of people so they want us not reproducing and want us all be interchangeable cattle/drones with no biological connections, for their toilet cleaners and factories. Since robots are becoming “normal”, they are ready to eliminate billions now (WWIII)..
Debt is ridiculous now for our children and the 7 years of “higher education” that my two oldest had were a WASTE OF TIME. IT MADE THEM DUMBER because “higher” education is now just an indoctrination and Party/debt thing.
Now, my sons did graduate in four years, then the 3 from law school, with the highest honors from Stanford, and great schools, but they DIDN”T LEARN HALF OF WHAT JEFFERSON KNEW OR FRANKLIN by age 14.
(Yes, I am yelling).
So, we set up a Marxist system of mass indoctrination, to get children away from the Natural family and reading Great Books, so that they can be warped for life and made into little socialists with the “group-(non) think” centers, so they become immoral, highly sexualized, and ignorant drones for the system. (They’ll never question the “system” with the indoctrination.)
Parents need to take back the minds of their children/grandchildren and bring in tutors and the Great Books /Bible to bring back the worldview which created the Founders and the greatest thinkers in the history of the World. This is the ONLY country which created individualism and Free Will/Bill of Rights—Individual Natural Rights only from God ONLY.
Everyone can take back their own children—from this satanic “culture”. Yes, it is hard, but it is worth it and can be done. The children need to learn philosophy, so they understand the ideology of Marxists and socialists and satanism (islam), to know how evil and dehumanizing those ideologies are. Only Christian worldview (Objective Truth) created free will and individualism (true freedom). All other ideologies are “collective” or tribal, so totally dehumanizing and not universal. Knowledge is Power-—that is why your graduates are so ignorant and brainwashed —incapable of critical thought/assessing facts, if they went through the “system”.
“The states with the highest percentage of re-filled empty nests are concentrated on the coasts, “
But of course. Liberals make lousy parents.
The politicians and their boss cronies run the factories out of the nation and we’re supposed to be shocked at this?
Want enough children? Restore the patriarchy. Once a civilization embraces feminism population declines increases to the point that either women’s lib is removed or the civilization is conqored by a more patarchal group of people.
“immigrants of all kinds” ....
********************************************
Immigrants are not the solution, especially allowing illegal immigration - article didn’t say ‘illegal’, but I bet if you asked them to specify, they’d include it. MAGA will go a long way to solving the problems in this article, but it’s going to take a while to turn around what was Obama’s 8 year “destroy America” program. Jobs won’t solve the problem of useless degrees and 40% of births to unmarried women. Technical schools where true skills are learned & kids being taught morals/values by their parents will help with the rest of it. Since the Left tends to be godless & socialist/communist, you’re still going to have significant culture problems especially if you let the Left indoctrinate (not educate) the kids in the public school system & higher ‘education’ & they have greatly infiltrated, if not taken over, both (it’s a plan, not a bug). If I had school-age kids in today’s environment, they’d be home schooled, regardless of the sacrifices it took to do it.

I guess they want to breed foreign welfare cases to save the country.
Have children late and then die early.
Gee, this problem has been ballooning over the last decade. I wonder what could have possibly been going on politically while this was happening?
While the left wonders why we elected Trump instead of their anointed hag, the big irony is that those most affected by the kids unable to leave home are living in the areas that are more typically leftist strongholds. I wonder if some of these people will ever realize the link between the predominate political climate and their kids’ inability to become independent?
Disclaimer: my son is one of the kids this article discusses. I would love for him to become independent.
They are still living at home because parents aren’t as strict as they used to be. When I was 17, I joined the Marines and counted the days until boot camp where I would finally be out from under my parents. Yes, I preferred drill instructors to my parents! Never went back to them either. After my enlistment, I worked two jobs and found a way to pay my own rent. Relationship with my parents much improved and they treated me as their equals thereafter.
I still see 30 something men today living with their parents slouching around the house going “yes mom” and “yes dad.” Pathetic.
Just wondering aloud.
After 90 days it’s the parents fault.
