I have this woman who I used to work with until she retired that her son is 45, and in the like 6-7 yrs I have known her her son might work maybe 3 months somewhere temp if that and loose the job or quit. He had to give up an apt when he had to put his Dad in a Care facility and now lives with his Mom. When he needs Medical help he gets Obama Care.
He is now living with his Mom. Quit a job with Amazon after less than a month due to he could not handle it, and now only wants a Temp job and could care less if it is only $11.30 an hr and Temp. Apts are here for even studio are over $800 a month so I guess he is dreaming he will ever be able to live on his own again. And his Mom is coddling him and Happy he is having to live there and not really wanting to work?
He had a chance today to go to a job Fair where my husband works and get a job there, and probably a good chance of a job, but wants to do the Temp agencies instead. I guess sooner or later every company is going to Love seeing temp jobs of like 2-3 months at most over like a 3 yr time with maybe 3-6 months in between of not working?
I am Sorry, but Thank God he was not raised by me. I am so Sad to see the Lazy people wanting the Free help and getting encouraged from their parents instead of being made to work. How can they really be Happy? If you are disabled, one thing, but come on... why not work if you can and have your own money for a change? His Mom's space rent for their Trailer park went to over $1000 a month with him living there. That is OK?
Just wondering where Americans went wrong when it came to work ethics and life? Time someone wakes up before these become the next age group for Presidents, etc.

Yes, and the interesting thing is she says she tried to make him quit being so picky about a job, and such, but allows him to be Lazy if he needs too. And his rent is only $300 to live at home. Anyone Stupid would want to live somewhere else. (Especially since rents are about a $1000 a month here for anything decent.)

I even asked her what happens if you or your husband die? She said that will never happen. (They are both in their 70s). And she allows him to be picky with a Temp To Hire company when he could apply for many jobs out there desperate for workers.

In fact in my opinion, Americans tend to let their children independent when they grow up. I appreciate it since it is something we shall learn from. As we are unable to protect and take care of our children forever. One day we will be gone and they have to depend on themselves but it may be too late if we adore them so much.
Since that, some people grow up to be dependent and especially lack of responsiblity. It is sad. Perhaps her mom doesn't realize it. It is even much more important for a man because he is supposed to support a family when he gets married.

Yes, and the Sad thing is more and more I see too many like this, and then if they ever try to get married, or get out on their own they do not know how to survive. Makes me wonder why they are not being taught how to survive instead?

Who knows. I think he's just been coddled and over protected all his life, and never really had to work. He lived with his Dad for yrs and lived off his Dads retirement and Disability income which helped pay the rent, etc so he never had to work. Sad part is he had to have Surgery, and the State as in Welfare had to pay it and his Mom was bragging about that, and oh he cannot work while that was going on as his Health was more important. I guess because they are Democrat?

@JESSY3236 There are some cases where children must take care of their parents. This case is different, because this man is living in his mom house like he was a spoiled teenager.

@LadyDuck I have to live with my mother because she has nowhere to go. She wants me to live with her when she does get a place, but now I have decided to move in with Chris.

Yes, and here in the US I think part of the problem is especially around here, since Rents are so high, people think it is easier to let their kids live with them all their life instead of encouraging them to find a roommate and get an apartment, and learn what it is like to be an adult for a change. If they can afford to maybe help them out at first get going, but still leave them to live life on their own.

It is sad. I have a grandson who doesn't want to work and is right now homeless. I have a son who works temp as much as he can. He wants to work. That's the way I raised him. He was also homeless, until today. He and his girlfriend and her family found a place today and will be moving in tomorrow. I'm so glad for him. He's also been assured of a full time job after the 4th of July. My grandson was coddled by his other grandmother who gave him everything he ever wanted. I was never that way with my kids and they are all hard workers.

It is Sad when some in today's society do not want to work. They would rather party, but when a Mom is all for it, and only charging $300 to live there how can he ever get ready to face the real world where rents in this area are around $1000 a month for a 1 bedroom now.

@just4him The nicest thing I can say is she is a Democrat, and thinks like one to where say you're depressed so you can get help, and not have to work, etc.

@KrauseHome That mom should be horsewhipped. She should know better. She isn't doing her son any favors.

i know. it amazes me how lazy people have become these days. neither man here even picks up or cleans after themselves and one doesn't even have a job. grandson has a job at donut place but does nothing with his energy but play when he is off and spends his money on drink. my daughter supports her bf and he does nothing most days but complain about what he don't have and wants her to give him. i would get so bored without doing anything when i was able. as i do now being unable to do much any more. i hate it

Wow!! Your daughter needs to quit enabling her boyfriend. But I could not handle even though we have in the past when we used to rent rooms out have people here who never wanted to work or even get out of the house. Time to start being a little more forceful and quit allowing them to just sit around the house all day if they do not want to get out there and work.

I couldn't imagine a 45 yrs old still not having his own room to rent.
I agree, if he is disabled that's understandable, but being mobile to work, that's laziness overload in him.

For sure. And to think she thinks she is doing him a Favor by only charging him $300 to live there? He will never be able to move out as Rents here will be at least $1000 tp $1200 before he can ever start to save but then wonder how many would even take a chance to Rent to him?

That is for sure. But when they are allowed to be like this, then no one really can have any say in the matter either.

As long as his mother enables him, why should he work? He needs tough love but obviously, mom likes having him around.

She always tries to tell me it is his decision to want to work a Temp agency instead of finding a permanent job and if he has to live there a long time before being able to move out that is OK.

There is no way I could defend him in any situation. And to think his Mom used to work for and retired from Boeing. He refuses to talk with me anyways ever since the Election. They are both Democrat.

Wow, that is so high for the trailer park rent! Does that include renting the trailer or is that for renting the space when you own your trailer?
I have a member of my extended family who behaves so much like the man you are describing. He is approaching 60 though, so there are some in every generation. I am happy to say, the young fresh graduates I meet at work (teachers) are hard working.

That is just for the Trailer space. They already own the trailer, and Yes, that is extremely high, and is Senior Park. But yes, there are a lot of people even that age with better wanting to work ethics than this. Just can't imagine a parent allowing their child to be like this.

It's the way the children including Child Adults were taught is OK while Obama was President. But then why would someone actually want to still coddle their child and be over protective with them when they are in their mid 40s and think oh they are going to be around forever to protect their Son if he never makes enough to get a place of his own ever.

Being lazy will never improve anything. Everyone should do job or should be busy in work if he can do it.@KrauseHome (36445)

Problem is he never works a job for very long. Finds fault with everything, and then wants to only work Temp to Hire jobs even when other places around him are desperate for help.

@PBKING But in reality when you don't force your own son to even get out there and work, and allow him to live with you only charging them $300 rent what are you teaching them?

Honestly, I guess I can see having your kids living with you in their mid 20s still to help them be able to save up for a home, etc. but in their 40s and not making them have to work? This is a change I guess I am glad I was never raised in.

I still cannot believe that they Gladly allow this, and Welcome him staying there with them even if it takes 3 yrs or more to be able to move out on his own. And only charging him $300 a month. So he does not need to learn responsibilities yet.
