[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 645217, member: 18516"] The only time I can see it being a positive is IF the adult child is working and contributing to the household via paying rent and household chores and there is an end date in sight. Perhaps if the parent is struggling and the adult child is helping in that regard, but to just "sponge" off your parents being nothing more than a parasite is just WRONG. Mike needs to go. This is classic: Mike needs to be treated like the full-grown man that he is, even if he isn’t acting like it.

But then again, [B]a grown man gets a job, he supports himself, he doesn’t run home to mommy, doesn’t raid mommy’s refrigerator, she doesn’t do his laundry, and she doesn’t clean up after him or fix his problems.[/B] I can't help but wonder about these scenario's years down the road. Mom and Dad will eventually die then where will Mike be? A 60 or 70 year old that has no clue how to take care of himself. I can see it now, special nursing homes for aging difficult child's.
