He constantly whines that "he's an adult" and his parents "have no right to pry into the life of another adult." The fact that he lives in their house doesn't seem to factor into his foolish thinking. Never mind members of the opposite sex staying the night, they've told him that he is not to date while living in their home, because dating should only be to lead to marriage, and a chump living in his parents attic obviously isn't in a position to drop down on one knee.
There is a such a sense of entitlement among younger people these days...It makes me worry about how America is going to defend itself with so many weak-kneed, gutless adult-babies.
I see the same thing among my acquanitances/friends. Personally, I think Baby Boomers need to toughen up when it comes to parenting their (adult!) children.
O' yes there is...My 22 year will once in awhile think along these terms..."I pay rent so you can't tell me what to do or I don't need to do anything around the house"
My response...get over yourself and there is the door...Love you, good luck...I will help you pack...
He may be paying rent, but he sure isn’t paying anywhere near what he would pay in the real world or he’d have a place of his own. A stipend is not rent, and the parents are not landlords.

The homosexuals will protect us. They and their significant others.
