Why do so many adult children live at home and let mamma take care of them?

I believe they do...I don't understand why adult children live with their parents other than to get a free ride. I know I never wanted to go back to my parents' house and my kids haven't come back home either.
I had a friend who passed away from cancer in 1999 who always used to tell me "little kids, little problems. Big kids, big problems." Boy was she right!

Adult children live at home for a variety of reasons and not all of them are mooching off their folks. In Korean culture, a young woman lives at home until she marries. My adult children have come back for a while after school, and once when my daughters then fiance lost his job and his home. Once my g/f who is a grown woman moved in for a while while her home was being renovated.
However parents who make it easy on their kids and keep rescuing them are not doing them any good.

Financial. The children have never been forced to realize the importance of education towards getting a high paying job so they can have their own place. Its pretty much the parents fault and yes grown childrens problems are bigger and different but never ending

There are a variety of reasons that adult children live at home. Usually economics or immaturity.

Most times it's the parents fault. They hang on or want to 'protect' them for tooo long. The kids get used to being taken care of and then it becomes the norm, to them.
