How do you feel about 25 and above year old people who still live with their parents? Esp. if he's a guy?

Answer 1

I would go with Loser also.

My situation is opposite: My parents live with me and I still feel like a loser, so imagine a guy who lives with his parents.

Answer 2

I was 20 when I left home, and went on my own. My husband, back then boyfriend was 30 when he left home to be with me. I just think it's the same way with some females and more males. They may be insecure about leave the nest. The fear of being alone, bills, any unexpected circumstances like, loss of job. They may think, once leaving they don't plan on coming back home. But, in any case, there will be one day when you will come back to their parents and they will always be there not matter what. Unless you got some one pregnant then that's all you man. But the point is, stay as long as you can, but also help out with something you know. A bill or two, pick up after yourself, throw out the trash or something. Because even though some parents don't say anything, does not mean they are not thinking it. Trust me...........Don't piss them off........or then you'll find out what they really think of their prince or princess. :) Good Luck.

Answer 3

I'm 25 and haven't lived at my parent's since I was 18, but I've seen people my age and older that live with their parents for very good reasons.

It depends on if the person in question is planning and saving for something, or if they're just lazy and free-loading. Especially here in California, just having a well-paying job isn't enough anymore (when rent on a studio apartment can reach $1,400+). If someone wants to open their own business, or study for a highly skilled profession, living with your parents a little longer can be highly beneficial.

Make sure you find out why they are living with their parents (maybe they moved out when they were 18, but went back to save up money) before you write them off as a loser.

Answer 4

I wouldn't call such person a loser or mama's boy. There can be many reasons: not having job thus unable to keep himself, comfort associated with everything given ready etc. In such cases I'd only call him/her an egoist. However, if a person lives at parents' because he feels well emotionally and loves his family it's ok. On the other hand, I don't thing it's so terrible when you don't have enough money and live with your parents because of that. Life's difficult these days and not everyone is able to make his/her own living at the age of 25.

Answer 5

I have to agree with SLF comment. In some places like big cities where it is hard to afford things some people chose to save for something more legit then a 1 br apartment just so you can live BY YOURSELF. Geez what a loser too!! If you have to be down with your folks when you 25-30 just cuz all been doing is saving for a house for your parents and yourself then be with it.

Answer 6

All I ask for in a man is that he does as well as I am doing, so at 25 I had my own car and house, and I was raising 2 kids on my own, Dude, get a job, save some money and get your own hole in a wall place to live

Answer 7

Honestly if your over 18 and not in college then it is time to move out of the nest and get a place of your own. Your parents need t cut the cords and let you go when your at that stage in your life.

Answer 8

It really depends because there is a lot to say for culture, in many cultures this is OK however see how the guy behaves and acts. Is he able to take care of himself,? like can he afford to live by himself. Some people like to live at home.

Answer 9

It depends on why he's still living with his parents. My uncle was 45 and still lived with my grandparents, but he had a good reason. My grandparents was in poor health and he was living there to take care of them in their final days. He had a good job, and helped them pay the bills, did all the cleaning and cooking for them.

Answer 10

depends why he's still living there. If there's a good reason, like he's moved back after a relationship broke up, or he's just finished university, or he's saving for a deposit on a house..... that's not so bad, but if he lives there because he can't be bothered doing his own washing, that's different! Certainly you would normally expect a man to be living independently by that age.

Answer 11

There comes a time when all little birds must leave the nest, especially 25 year old birds. He's either financially incapable of supporting himself, emotionally too attached to mom and dad, or he's a leach and he's sucking the money and the life out of them. Stay away.
