OK, that was funny but its not like that at all.
My mom does make a great meatloaf though.
It just is cheaper and it gives me more free time. They let me live my own life.
They go to temple every week and accept the fact that I hardly go at all. It works.
Fat boy,
Its not working for you. You have no girlfriend, you're 34 yrs old and you got loser written all over you.
Get out and start a life. Do it now.
You are a MOOCHER. Women do not want moochers.

I'm 32 not 34. My parents don't see it as mooching.

There's a difference between living at home with parents, and this.
Having said that, I think in some respects good for you with what you say about you like it, your parents like it, and you don't care what anyone else thinks.
Does the troll live with you too?
No gays please.
Actually the way the economy is right now many adults share expenses and live at home.
There is a bit of sex discrimination. A 32 yr. old male at home seems worse than female at home.
I did live a couple years in my mid 20's in my own apartment. Finances forced me back but that's not the case now.

Are you talking about his apartment or his \"apartment\"? I admire you if you are talking about his penis.

Where do you stand with the ladies if you have taken your Mother into your house to live with you after Dad past on and she got sick?

Exactly!! People think there is something wrong with you when you live at home and are over 30 but that's not the case. Its just a financially smart thing to do.
I have had girlfriends who didn't mind. Some girls do make a face when they find out you still are at home but who needs that type anyway.
If the right girl does not come along I will live with my parents forever. They like it and so do I. So I don't care what anybody else thinks.
When I do find the right girl, then I'll leave.
Don't be so sure your parents like it. If I had a son over 30 who was still living with me, well, let's just say I would have kicked his lazy arse out a long time ago. It's only financially smart if you have a timetable for moving out; like 6 months, not until "the right girl comes along."
Believe me, the right girl ain't coming along. She'll find out you still live with your parents and have no plans for moving out, and will she leave skidmarks in getting away as fast as she can. "The right girl" has a few things going on, is an independent adult, and expects the same from her boyfriends.

That is different. Just make sure the ladies know it is your house, not mom's. It can be a bit awkward but no one will think you are a loser. It's the sponging off of parents that makes a loser.
I knew a girl who lived in a condo the parents bought and a few more who got support from their parents to pay rent. How often does this happen? That doesn't really seem independent but I didn't care.
to primary caregiver son, like KC says that's a different situation altogether, and (I HOPE) no one would look on anyone badly for that, rather they should look on them in a positive light.
about girls or guys living in places their parents bought or are helping out, i guess if the parents are rich and they want to give money to their daughter or son, i would have no issue with that situation. unfortunately the world is not equal and not everyone gets this (i.e. people may have parents who are very poor) - you don't choose which situation you're born into, etc.
i think the main thing is they are supporting themselves once they hit a certain age.
Why should I pay $10,000 a year for lodging and food.
I help my parents out with mowing, painting, shoveling and different chores. I give very expensive gifts for christmas and birthdays.
Its a win/win.

Yes there are disadvantages but I travel a great deal for my job and I have saved a ton of $$$$ living at home. When the right girl comes along I\'ll have a huge down payment for a new home.
My mom and dad are very easy to live with. My mom doesn\'t mind doing cooking and laundry for me either. I have more time for running and playing other sports.
Its a good deal.
Don\'t you feel bad for you know, being a drain on your parents?
I probably wouldn't date a guy my age who lived with his parents and I definitely wouldn't date a guy who was freeloading his meals, not doing his own laundry and not helping with cooking and expenses, etc.
I've lived in a tiny apartment with roommates so that I could save money. Maybe I could have saved a little bit more by living with my parents, but what is my salary for if not to pay for my living expenses as the adult I am NOW? If you're able to save a TON of money living at home, you could almost certainly save a modest amount of money living on your own.
As for someone who was caregiver for a widowed mother, I think it's the right thing to do, but it would be a potentially difficult situation. The mother would have to understand that if you got married, the wife would be the female head of the household, and in any conflict, either you don't get involved or you support your wife. There's few things worse in a relationship than a mother in law who starts shit and a husband who joins her in attacking his wife.

I suppose that's the real reason I wouldn't consider a guy that lived with his mom. Too much potential for future mother in law problems and too much chance that the guy would be expecting you to take over for mom, or even more scary is a guy that puts mom over his gf/wife. I've seen enough monster-in-laws to know what kind of guy you must avoid to avoid those problems. Coddled, irresponsible mama's boys are first on the list. They are usually paired with an overbearing, selfish mother who thinks no other woman is good enough for her son. It's a little bit gross and unhealthy, actually.
my parents told me growing up is hard to do so 2 weeks after HS graduation you will be out of our house and on your own.
When they came west for my wedding my Dad suggested they stay at my house, I reminded him growing up is hard to do and pointed out a motel 6 not a mile away.
I did let them use my pool but not the de Tomaso Pantera.
