Parents suing to evict 30 year old kid from house

Those of you with kids, hypothetically, what would you do if they were still living at home in their late 20s, but they’re working and otherwise being generally responsible? I have a friend like this, and while he seems to have a good relationship with his parents (nothing like the asshole in the article), something about it seems really unhealthy.

I agree with what Joe said below. Sometimes life/shit happens and people need a little help to get back on their feet. As long as they're putting in the effort to find a job or temporary working an "under-employment" job while in transition, there's nothing wrong with it. In fact, I think it's great -- even if the son or daughter is in their 30s or 40s or whatever. The bigger issue is long-term coddling and dependency for a child who refuses to grow up and become responsible for themselves.

Honestly, as long as they're productive I don't see a problem. Look at somewhere like the Bay Area where they might be pulling in 160K as a software engineer but still may struggle to find a place to live. If the dude is just living there, living off of them like he's a HS student on summer break, then throw him out. But if the dude is being responsible, well, if they are cool with it, I don't see a problem. 

Bingo.

I think it could be OK for a while, if someone is temporarily trying to figure out their life, but maybe they need to sit down and work out a plan for their son/daughter to move out.   Put a time limit on it.

Problem is that this can turn into a "crutch" and stunt a person's growth.  They need to grow up, and be seeking to create their own life (not live forever with mommy and daddy).

I was the 4th boy,  there was no question about who was in charge. My dads belt hit the door, bed, walls dresser but never me. He could crush you with a quietly placed "you dumbass" comment.  I was lucky i made my mistakes early and saw what not to do.  My folks would have allowed anyone (and did allow it many times by the large extended family) to stay  for a short time.   But it was clear it was only temporary after 18.    I stole the term from Dad " Be a man and take care of your family"  listened to him use it more than once.

My daughter, and only kid graduated high school last week. She will be attending USU in the fall, and plans to stay at home. Something I am perfectly happy with.

There’s nothing wrong with that.

Don't you think an education at an institution such as CAL would allow her the opportunity to be involved in more causes and protests? I seriously doubt that at USU she's going to learn that hate speech isn't protected speech. 🙂

Nah, just giving you chit. They grow up fast and a little more time to be around them at home has to be a good thing.
