At what age did you ask your son to leave home?

Question

My son is 21 it's time to go,PSI want him to grow up and be a man.Is the what you call a Mama,s boy.

Answer 1

There is a huge difference from being a momma's boy or not ready yet. Is he in college? Does he have a job? If he is in college and is work, why are you going to kick him out? Now if he is just a bum, then kick him out. I left my parents house when I was 18 and moved far away for college. I was so young I felt so hopeless, obviously I got past that and grew up, but I wish I could've stayed with my parents longer. They never tried to kick me out or anything. Enjoy the fact that he is still with you because once he leaves, he leaves, you will miss him and wish he was still there. BUT if he is just always home not working and not going to school, make him get a job then move out so he has money. Good luck

Answer 2

I NEVER would ask any of them to leave. Why make them get out and pay rent, bills etc? If you let them stay home they can save alot more money to set themselves up with.

Why would you have an issue with your son being a mama's boy? I hope when my son is 21 he still wants to live with me

Answer 3

only America puts a limit on things like that. You should raise somebody until they are ready to fly away. I was 17 but had to come back at 21 and 27 due to a recession then an accident. I've lived in 9 countries and got about 180 more to go. Only my brother looks at things like the fact that I am currently 27 and at home and made little money working in other countries and have no retirement plan. I am doing what I want to with my life but I have a little recess due to injuries. My parents welcomed me back in open arms.

Answer 4

does he have a job? if he lives with you he should contribute to rent and bills. Many families let the children stay as long as they want. Others expect the child to move out by 21.

Answer 5

i ask them to run away all the time but they tell me i have to pay them to do it

i have told my kids they can live with me as long as they need to but there are many rules to fallow
1 ) get a job at 16
2) i will all ways know where you are and what your doing
3 ) finish school
4 ) after 18 pay your own bills ( cell, insurance, gas, etc.)
5 ) you pay rent $200 a month
6 ) no b/f or g/f living with you here


you make the house rules so bad they want to move out

Answer 6

My children are all still very young, but when their older I will never ask them to leave. When they are ready they will go. Especially if their in college, they still need support.

If you want him to grow up and be a man, then how did you raise him? If you think hes a mamas boy it would be your fault not his.

Answer 7

I'd neve rask any of my children(no matter if they are 21 or 41) to leave.When my children find the love of their life,they will leave alone.Before that it isn't necessary.And I'd love my children and wouldn't want to case them from home.Of course if they live with me they will help with bills,they will work and will be treated as every other family member.

Answer 8

My mom just kicked out my 18 year old brother for the same thing. I think she is a b*tch for doing that. But, 21 may be different.

Answer 9

at 9 and he didnt listen til he was 13

Answer 10

If you're ready for him to go, then I think it's time for you to ask him to find his own place. There are always circumstances that may cause someone to need to stay with their parents temporarily, but only until they get back up on their feet. I would just offer emotional support and help him find his own place. Good luck to you!
