https://www.yahoo.com/gma/30-old-or...-harassed-093004235--abc-news-topstories.html A Judge ordered a 30 year old New York man to vacate his parents house after living there for years rent free. His parents asked him to get a job, insurance, etc, but he declined, so they asked him to leave. He says he should be able to stay because all the harrasment he has endured. The least they can do, he says, is let him stay there and use their hotwater and electricity. He plans to appeal the courts decision. Wait, is this one of you guys?
If this is a new precedent, then ripcitytwo will soon have a lot of non-active posters due to no internet and basement to live in.
This loser needs a crewcut and bootcamp on Paris Island...let some drill sgt teach him about free rent
I’d just like to throw out (based on a similar experience within my own family) that this young man is likely to have at (the very) least some type of mental health issue whether he wants to admit it or not. That may have contributed to him losing custody of his child. We don’t have all the facts and I certainly agree that his parents should not be financially responsible for him if they choose not to be, especially when he refuses to seek mental health counseling. But it’s too easy to simplify these things sometimes, and while the kid disgusts me I can’t help but believe his issues are far more complicated than a short article allows.......so I’m working extremely hard to suspend judgement.
When I was in my late 20’s I had to move home for about 3 months. I was so ashamed. I could have stayed much longer but it was quickly blackening my heart and pissing on my spirit.
Moved out of my parents when I was 20. This guy may have some form of mental illness, but he certainly has no apprrciation for the 30 years his parents have put a house over his head, fed him, etc. They have done the least they could do and then some. In fact, it sounds like they have done nearly the most they could do.
This is actually a good point...I joke but I would have no problem if my son lived at home ...after college he used a year of free rent at home to put a down payment on a house. Who knows....maybe I'll need to live in his house when I'm walking around with a drool cup.
After I moved back from China with my wife and baby, things didn't work out for us in Washington DC. We moved home and lived with my parents for 3 months while I searched for a new job. I had the same feelings as you, but felt blessed I had a the support of my family in a tough situation.
moving home with parents if fine...but if they ask you to leave, give you some money to leave, and write you letters begging you to go...its time to go. And if he has some mental issues to work out, that sucks, and explains a lot, but either his parents don't care about his issues (unlikely) or...he doesn't have any.
Surprised this thread isn’t getting more attention......... considering that 80% of you on here are in the same boat. #BasementLife
