[If my grown-up sons don't leave
home soon, I will! As it's revealed
more men than ever live with
their parents,
a howl of despair from dad-of-three
Roger Lewis was relieved when
his children left home for work or university
But now, all three of his grown
sons are back under his roof
His account comes as it was revealed
one in three adult men still live at home]








'While my now very large
boys are only too happy to take
up residence in their childhood
bedrooms, this extended adolescence
is hell for us, their parents'

What a Bleedin' Mess

[HD]

You're a parent for life.
Deal with it.

[Me. I Am Salman]

My brother is 26 and the other is turning 25 this year, still live at home. I still fight with the second oldest one over things like the remote lmfao

Spoken like someone who's not a parent yet Yes, you'll always be a parent but why should that mean that you have to carry your adult children for the rest of your life? There's not a hope in hell my kids will be laying about at home when they're adults. People need to be taught to be independent and look after themselves, how will they ever cope if they have their own kids but they can't even look after themselves? Not to mention i for one am looking forward to being able to having some time back for myself when my kids are adults.

Innit tho?.... I wouldn't mind ( mine are 17 & 20) but wish i'd beaten it into mine to be tidier.

Can understand with the 27 year old but 21 and 24 aren't that old to still be living at home, especially when they'll only have just come back from university recently and need time to get themselves a decent job and save up enough to move out

Yeah, that's true enough actually, but 27? not a hope

No matter when you move out it is going to be expensive though.

I guess it is also because I haven' lived at home since I was 16.

[Scarlett.]

True, I do have savings though, so one day I will eventually have enough, lol.

I don't, but it's a bit ****ty to look down on people who do tbh.

[smudgie]

I found a little house for son, and showed him the door.

Beggar comes home for his Sunday dinner and it is great.
He picks his shopping up as well as I do all his food shopping for him.

I just can't believe people do past that age, you're an adult. I could think of nothing worse than living back at home.

With my family it's more of a cultural thing, there's no stigma about living with your parents because traditionally people would only move out once they get married/it's viewed negatively to leave your parents once they become elderly when they've raised you/there's loads of emphasis on the importance of family and this is all why in the country my parents are from, they have big houses with three generations living together. It's not like you live off them and rely on their labour, you have to provide for them of course, and once they get really old you're responsible for them. My brother has a well paying job with the council and the other one graduated a few years ago and is looking for employment, they aren't lazy and on benefits or anything

Each to their own. Nothing wrong with your grown up kids living with you until they get married/move in with someone or can afford somewhere of their own but i do think parents should live their own lives & not pander to adult kids. Have rules in that they will pay rent, cook,clean,wash, iron & shop, if not they are out.

I agree totally, I think people who stay at their parents homes for free and just lay about are useless, but at the same time, its up to the parent to let them know that they should be making themselves useful.

..it's really hard for young people to be able to afford to buy their own house, it's just so expensive ..both my sons still live with us, although we don't see them that much because they also spend a lot of time at their girlfriend's houses..I'm happy with them living here and know that they've both saved so that they can afford to buy their own house, which my eldest son and his girlfriend will be doing this year...

Did you leave school at 16? My eldest is 16 I would lock him in the attic if he tried to leave, he can't anyway as he is still at school!

Of course it's always going to be expensive to move out but until you have money to be able to afford it there's nowhere to go but the streets.

If someone's staying at home purely to hang onto their parents for longer, free room, no bills, so they can save all their money for piss ups etc then they need a kick up the backside but if you're paying rent, contributing to bills and housework I don't see the problem especially if you've just graduated and need a little time to get settled in a job.

As the article says if living with parents is all part of "an extended adolescence" then there may be a problem if you're hitting 30 but purely just living with your parents isn't proof of that and there could be all kinds of reasons.
