what do you think of a 30 year old man that still lives at home with his parents?and is unemployed?

Answer 1

It depends on the circumstances. Perhaps the man is suffering from a mental illness like schizophrenia or social anxiety or has been affected by a disastrous event that has lead him to such a way of life. In that case I would only feel pity for him. But in any other case where there does not seem to be a health issue or any other circumstance beyond his control affecting his ability to be responsible I would simply have to conclude that he's lazy. But that would be unlikely. It's very likely that such people are suffering from mental illness. I see there have been many ignorant people answering this question. Many people do tend to overlook circumstances and go straight for pre-emptive judgement. It's just sad to see so many people who seem to feel so offended by such a thing and yet can overlook and even praise people like G.W. Bush.

Answer 2

Some people choose to live with their parents because they view this to be a better, smarter option. It is in a lot of scenarios: it's definetly better than moving out when you're 18 and can't get ur feet on the ground! Though 30 seems a little late... he might just like living with his family, or is EVEN looking after someone in the house-- although him being unemployed sort of draws my attention to a different side of the story.

Guys who don't have jobs usually means they are lazy and might expect you to do the housework and be the person who brings home the paycheck. However, this isn't always true. People work on contracts, or maybe he's in a field that takes lot's of time and luck to land a job. Whatever it is, you have to be okay with it and don't be too harsh. :)

Answer 3

Not much. I suppose that he has always lived with his parents? If so, he REALLY needs to get a life......and a job......and another place to live. But in some other societies and in past times it was actually more normal for family members to remain at the home of their parents until they got married. If this guy is not married, then maybe it's not so bad. But he still needs to pay his own way around the house. Maybe he sells stuff on Ebay to make money, or trade stocks via the internet, like I do. That's why I don't have a job, but I don't live with my parents either.

Answer 4

Has hit rock bottom that's what I think! depending on the guys circumstances maybe there's a legit reason for this other than the obvious answers we r all saying!
If the guy's always been at home and is unemployed then yes he's a loser.

If he had to move back home after being independent then obviously something tramatic has happened and he just needs to be there temporarily until he gets back on his feet.

I'd find out what's going on there before casting judgement on the guy.

Answer 5

Dear Sister, what a good thing if a person still loves his parents and lives with them. What would you say about an employed man of 30 living with his parents? Why ostracise someone for unemployment? The scenario you mentioned is much better than that of a person staying away from his parents in a LIVE-IN-RELATIONSHIP and ignoring his parents. Are not ups and downs a part of a person's life. I think today's generation wants to run away from their parents, the moment they find their so called soulmate.

Answer 6

that's just wrong. A 30 yr old man who still lives with his parents and is unemployed is a 30 yr old boy. He is not ready to take on responsibilities of adults (which includes dating), must be afraid of life hence the need to continue to hide out in mummy and daddy's house, and well, is just not an adult yet. I don't care what the excuse is

Answer 7

Is there a reason why he is still at home? A disabled parent? Is he disabled himself? Does he have a special need such as down syndrome, etc...etc...? Does he choose not to work? Is he self employed at all? Does he do odd jobs around the neighborhood for cash? Does he suffer from social anxiety? I would have to know the entire story before I could say anything about what I thought about him.

Answer 8

I'd have to know why he does these things.

Obviously he lives at home because he does not have a job to pay outside rent. Is he between jobs, but really looking? Has he gone back to school? Is he ill or recovering from something?

If he has a good reason (ill, really looking or in college or grad school) then I think it's a necessary evil

If he does not (lazy, doesn't feel like working) then I think he is a bum and a wastrel

Answer 9

Depends on the circumstances. Did he just get laid off? That's not necessarily his fault. Did he just get divorced? Is he mentally ill? Was he recently in an accident or does he have a serious illness? How long has he lived there? How long does he plan on staying? What are his prospects? How does he treat his folks? You can't make assumptions about someone in a position like this. There are a LOT of legitimate reasons someone might be in a position like this. Some of them are, indeed, bad. Some of them are not. Never judge a book by its cover.

Answer 10

I don't like to form opinions on people,no matter the type. This is why:

My own mother wishes me to stay home with her. She says she wished she could stay at home with her mother,because then she wouldn't have to deal with the stresses of work,bills,ect. She's offering that offer to me,but I might not take it. Yet, I may. It doesn't mean I'm a loser or lazy.

Bottom line: The guy might be lazy and he might not be worth your time. OR he could actually have a good reason for staying at home. Maybe he's just having a hard time right now. Don't formulate an opinion on him bacause of his current status,or on other's opinions. You never know.
