IT Is Ok To Live At Home With Mom Until You Are 40.
Bad things and set back happens so going back home is ok. Just have a concrete plan.

As long as your concrete plan isn't the basement. There are many cultures that live with family and take care of each other. Mexicans are one of them They are a strong culture because they stick together. But they all have jobs. Do you?

It's okay, but you'll look like a real dork in the process.

It depends on a lot of factors. You may live with your crippled mother to support her. You may be disables yourself, you may not be able to afford your own lodging, for whatever the reason.
But, as a rule, it would be better for any young adult (20 or older) to stand on his/her own two feet.

Perhaps, but not live off of your mom when you are 40, or 20 plus for that matter.

As a last resort, if you have no other options, then yes, and only if it is temporary. It is bad for the individual to live at home with their parent(s) when they are that old. It is bad at every level of their own development.

Meh.

Stay at home if they love and want you.
If not? Move in with some other bass-ackward-scratchers your own age, and become a hippy ;-)

I would never be able to live with my Mum until I was 40.
I want to do so much with my life; and as much as I love my parents, we have so many differences.

I wanna go to University away from home, become a vet and settle down.

In Germany.

My Mum's only ever been abroad once; and that was when she was 16. She wants me to stay close to home so she can see her daughter 'grow up even more'.

Kids need to grow up and be independent.

No its not. It shows a complete lack of initiative and shows dependence on your parents

No, kids need to grow up and accept the responsibilities of being an adult as soon as they are out of school. Otherwise, you are only teaching them to be dependent on someone or the government to make a life for them. If he's 40 and been there since he was a child then he likely needs counseling. His parents are long over-due for some themselves.

I don't want to live with my parents now. Why would i want to stay here for twenty two more years. That would suck beyond all measure. Who wants to bet me that the guy posting this one is forty living at home with his parents. He probably has no life and no friends. I feel so bad for him.

The way you phrase the statement makes it sound like a continuous living with no attempt at getting out, this i am against. As an adult you should stand on your own two feet, and if your not ready for that then your parents have failed you and they deserve to have you around until they are dead.
