Court orders 30 year old out of parents house
- Thread starter Delco Lion
- Start date
Maybe he can set up a GoFundMe page so that he can get people to cover his living expenses.
Or buy a sailboat and sail the world....
There is work and earning a living. There is showing up and expecting to get paid.
I think this guy would want the second.
I know a 35 year old that lives with his parents. Hurt his back working construction when he was 22. Settled for an amount and decided to try to live off of that (I guess). Too stupid to realize he is wasting his prime earning years. Unreal how unmotivated people can be.
I cant believe the parents let it get this far. They enabled him to this point.
He should hook up with the lady that sends 65000 texts. They seem like they would be good for each other. Both knuckle heads.
They enabled him right up to the end. Just look at the letters they sent. They also took him to court. Played his game.

One less poster on the lair if he can’t afford the internet at his new place.
I think the fact that the parents actually took him to court to evict him from their own house. That makes it at least unusual if not truly newsworthy.
Wow. This precedent puts a damper on my early retirement plans.
It actually went to the NY Supreme Court. This wasnt some local DJ making a ruling. I guess the NY media made a big deal of it, and then it went national.
Been hearing about this on the radio the last couple days. Maybe he wants his 15min of fame, but dude.. going national with your story about sheer laziness? Pretty embarrassing.
Any of you guys with a single 30-ish year old daughter that's looking for a husband, here's your chance.
I see this situation more often in reverse. For instance, I have elderly husband and wife neighbors who had 2 daughters. The first one was brought up normally and left home, got married, and is raising a family. The other daughter was "groomed" from an early age to be the caretaker of her parents. She was never allowed to date or participate in school activities. She cleaned house and cooked meals for her parents from an early age. She is now about 50 years old, lives at home, works a job (paychecks turned over to the parents), cooks all meals, mows the lawn, chauffeurs her parents wherever they want to go, cleans the house, etc. She has no friends and little outside contact without parent involvement. Her existence is almost cult-like. I see this situation more often than I see a 30 year old still living at home and sponging off his or her parents.
This works both ways and both are wrong.

Someday when her parents kick the bucket it's going to be even worse for her. In addition to losing her parents she'll be losing her purpose.
Exactly right. I really pity her. She is about 20 years younger than my wife and I. We might be her only friends. She will be like a fish out of water when her parents are gone. She doesn't know how to handle money, pay bills, make any meaningful decisions, etc. She will likely be a recluse and just waste away. I think her parents are more selfish in this case than the 30-year old guy was in his situation.
Something is wrong with someone who doesn’t want to move out and start their own life. My daughter has a 29 year old friend whose “bestie” is her Mom. She has never lived away from home, even during college, and she works for her Dad. Of course the parents are enablers. It’s sad really. She never dated, will likely never marry, and when her parents are gone she’ll be all alone. She claims to like living at home because she can save money, and her parents don’t object. Nor do they encourage her to leave.

That guy is a mental health case study...I’m not a professional so not sure what exactly it is (anxiety or depression, bipolar, etc), but someone’s going to get a paper published studying him.
My first thought was that either it was a joke and put on or else is what something like you say. Why else would a 30 year old even do this? Under normal circumstances it wouldn't happen. This guy needs some kind of help but the problem is that in watching him I get the impression he'd resist it.
This became a good TIC news story, but I know several people who live, or have lived, with their parents well past this age. One is a woman who is very successful in her career, however due to religious traditions/reasons she can't move out of the house unless she's married - and as she's in her 40's and single still lives at home. Another is a guy who has never worked anything but low wage jobs and it still living at home w/his parents - he's in his 50's and the folks in their 70's.
But anyone living with their parents after their mid 20's is a stupid entitled millennial - am I right?

I needed a few months after college to save some money and move out. I was told it was fine. I found a decent day job to start my career. I stepped up my game from when I was growing up and did all kinds of chores. Then my dad read a Newsweek article about how it's the new rage for kids to move back in and live at their parents. He had an anxiety attack and ended up in the hospital and I had to wrap it up ASAP. I'm kind of annoying but damn that was hardcore.
Not necessarily right. The parents of the girl I described above don’t really want her to leave. The mother especially is full of anxiety issues and the father dotes on his little 29 year old girl. The illness works both ways. A good parent teaches their children how to make decisions and lead their own lives independently. Not these folks.
LMAO when I read about a millennial posting about politics from his Mama's basement. They have really figured out all of the answers to life's biggest questions.
My oldest graduated high school last Sunday and turned 18 two weeks before that. I’ve already started the process of cutting her out. Got her own bank account, told her gas is now on her, she is starting a job today, going to college in August. If you don’t give them a little nudge out of the nest they’ll never believe they can fly.
My daughter moved back in with us after she finished graduate school and about died for the three months she lived at home before finding a job and moving out. My son just moved back in after graduating college and may stay for life. You can raise them the same way, but unfortunately they have their own personalities.
I lived at home for a year after graduating college in May (didn't get a job until end of August) to help save up some money before getting an apartment with a college friend. I then lived at my parent's home with my wife and new born for three months while our house was being built (our townhouse sold much faster than expected). My older daughter has been on her own in Boston/Providence area for three years since graduating college, but would like to move back to the Philly area. I told her she could live at home for up to 18 months for the reason of saving money to buy her own place.
All of these I feel are acceptable reasons for living with parents, but to not have a job and use your parents as a free ride through your 20s is unacceptable. I understand it is more difficult for millennials to buy their first house than it was for me, but EIGHT years of sponging off the parents should get you a great start if you HAVE A JOB!
