Pedestrian Question - Do You Still Live with Your Parents?

A judge in New York ruled in favor of a Mom and Dad who could not get their 30 year old son to move out of the house. For years, they tried to get him to go. They sent him five eviction notices, they gave him money to move somewhere else, but he refused. We thought this was an interesting topic, so we went out on the street and asked people 'Do you still live with your parents?' in a new #PedestrianQuestion.

Pedestrian Question - Do You Still Live with Your Parents?

[marcihf]

I live with my parents. They are elderly and I do the cleaning, laundry, run errands for them, read the mail and make sure they don't get scammed, go get their meds for them, etc. I also help pay for groceries, household items, etc. Not everyone who lives with their parents is a lazy leach.

As an Indian, can't relate. Indian parents won't let you move out untill after you get married.

He invited the dude then publicly insulted and humiliated him.. That’s unkind

[soniverse]

Being an Asian, it's funny to hear such things 😄

Living with your parents is no big deal. But, living with your parents not contributing to paying the household expenses is a PROBLEM.

[funkyfiss]

If housing wasn't so expensive more people would move out earlier.

I’m 25 and still living at home. My parent started struggling financially after I graduated college, so I’ve stayed to help support my family.

[zipitshhhh]

I'm almost 30 and I still live with my parents due to them being too old. Sometimes they leave the stove on or water running. So don't judge we all have a duty in life to give back even if it means living with your parents.

Take it easy on them Jimmy, we can't all be overpaid talk show hosts.

This is definitely an American thing, most other cultures live together for a long time

I’m 33 and live with my mother. I’m disabled after a stroke. I pay part of the bills from my disability check and I try to clean/cook.

[Soluchi-InfiniteCoCreatorGod]

African parents NEVER want their kids to leave home. This is mostly a western thing. Also, living with your parents doesn't mean you're lazy. They're people who have jobs that still live with their parents. My parents would do ANYTHING to get me to live and stay with them forever. LOL.

[debbiecooper]

my daughter just moved back... But my husband is ill and I just had a knee replacement I NEEDED help. so I am glad she is home. she can stay as long as she wants

[CidGuerreiro]

Fastforward to 2020, lots of people are moving back with their parents after losing their jobs to the pandemic.

[brandonmills]

This is actually cruel and not funny at all. Who knows what’s issues one my be going through it’s their current situation. Judging people isn’t right!!

[CaffeineDose]

I don't see why it's bad to live with your parents and take care of them! Why the culture is so ruined!!

[onmywaytohappiness]

I am 24 and I live with my parents. I have work. I pay bills. I recently bought my dad a brand new car. I live with them so that it is easier for me to take care of them not because am a lazy adult. i hate the way people in this country think you have to move at 18.

[kitkat]

I’m 21 and still live with my dad. We need to normalise living with parents as long as you are studying or working. I want to save money so I can buy an apartment instead of renting, I’m lucky to have such a supportive parent...

[marcusthomas]

I would like to say to anyone watching this right now and having questions about yourself and living with your parents, ask yourself what you really want. Don't let a silly youtube video dictate your choices. Everyone's experience is different.

The son in that story was unemployed by choice, and he did not contribute any rent or physical help with the upkeep of the household. That's why his parents wanted him out. There is nothing wrong with children continuing to live with their parents into adulthood, it only becomes a problem if the child is just acting like a lazy leech.
