Of course, "kicking them to the curb" is an exaggeration but that is how it feels to many parents. As a result, the kids never leave and that does both a disservice to the kids (who never grow up) and to the parents (who should at that stage in their life be downsizing and saving for retirement).

I have seen this in my family. My oldest brother lived with mom for most of his life. Now his is a 63 year old adolescent with no gullible souls to take care of him. Mom did him no favors by letting him stay.
