yes but they have no choice and have to depend on mum and dad but it is the adult ones 18+ who should be ashamed of themselves for mooching off mum and dad. [color:"blue"] Exactly!!!! [/color]
If motherhood doesn't interest you, don't do it. It didn't interest me, so I didn't do it. Anyway, I would have made a terrible parent. The first time my child didn't do what I wanted, I'd kill him."

[color:"blue"] Me too, what a crying shame. [/color]

Some of us ARE ashamed of it. It's just that it's very difficult to find a job so one CAN move out. Hell, I've been passed over for Christmas-season jobs at Barnes and Noble, and I have a frigging degree!

I could have easily been in that boat myself, Katja. With an English lit degree (not a teaching degree - still kicking myself for that move), I had to be pretty flexible regarding a career. I ended up doing environmental documents for an engineering firm, which led into doing marketing material for them. I had to beg and beg them to let me switch, though.
No, it's the ones like a guy my friend knows -- he's in investment banking, makes stinking good money, and refuses to leave home until he's like 35 so he can basically pay cash for a house (or something nutty like that). Sure, it's great for his finances, but come on! My parents threatened to make me pay rent when I was still working retail after graduation. Why aren't these parents able to stand up to their mooching kids and tell them to get their own lives??

[color:"orange"]I think some of these adults that are still living with their parents are past getting their degrees and still living at home? It's one thing while getting an education, then moving out, but another to STILL be at home once they are done getting that degree. GROW UP AND MOVE ON! [/color]

I think its a case of you reap what you sow. You raise a kid to be overly dependent and give them everything, how can you expect the kid to have any desire/need to leave--those that have the actual resources to live on their own but don't, that is?
If you teach a child to mooch/leech, you have a mooching/leeching adult.
