My question is this;

My 20+ year old daughter, all my 20+ year old nieces and nephews (I am talking 22-23 year old "men")...they seem to think its okay to live at home
and not move out??

When I turned 18, many moons ago, first thing kids back then wanted to do is get together with some friends, rent a place. Be independent. Eat pizza 3x a week..

Kids nowadays seem to want to just live at home with mom and dad?? Is this because of covid school shutdowns? Do your kids show this behavior?

I have a 23 year old guy visiting my daughter every day...he greets me, and just marches up to her room. He still lives at home with his mom and dad He likes singing to the TV show "Glee" with her. And sometimes he wears pink pants. Not salmon. Pink. The kid works construction mind you...

My wife explains to me since she is an adult, I can't stop her from having a boyfriend.

I get this...but when do these kids move out already?? You can't really kick them out. But grown children nowadays don't seem to want to leave the nest??


Anyone else have this madness going on at their homes?

What the hell do you mean you can’t kick them out? When I was 15 years old. I was told by my father I had better have a plan because I was not invited to remain home after high school. Though he was kind enough to buy the plane ticket out for me though, helped with some bills too. But that soon dried up.

I said the same thing to my daughter. Get the hell out, find a job, get your own place. I initially helped with some of the bills and she is now on her own.
