Has anyone seen "Failure To Launch" ( Archived) (7)

I have a couple of friends who are in there 30's both men and women who still live at home with there parents...I've always joked with them about being older and still living at home...
My question to everyone is...Is it natural for a person in there 30's to still want to live at home with there parents..

Have a good one..
Cheers

No, but circumstances forces people to do that. 200 years ago you where lucky to be alive at 35.

After I had my youngest son I had to stay with my parents for 2 weeks to recover...well, I love my parents dearly, but I was never so glad to be home again! I think that the only time that Iwould be able to live with them again is if they werent able to care for themselves and needed a caregiver. I would go without question.

I haven't seen "Failure To Launch", so I don't know how your question relates to that movie. But I'll give my perspective on it anyway.

"My question to everyone is...Is it natural for a person in there 30's to still want to live at home with there parents.."

I don't know how "natural" it is, but I do know that some people have stronger family values than others. Also some people have a need to travel and be on the move all the time while others are more home and family-oriented.

Personally I think for the purpose of raising children it's better to be home and family-oriented. Perhaps it's not natural to want to do that. Maybe that's why the world is so screwed up. ;o)

I'm definitely home and family-oriented. I have been all my life. I highly value the smilple things in life, and the close interaction of loved ones. It's really ironic that I never married and became a father because that was my only dream from a very early age.

I lived my entire life without the companionship of a loving wife. Some woman out there lost out on having a dedicated, loyal, and loving husband. And some kids don't even exist who would have had a very attentive loving father.

Funny how life goes. So many woman claim that I'm the type of man that they so desires (patient, dedicated, and family-oriented), yet none of them seem to be the slightest bit interested in actually participating in that type of life.

It's kinf of late for me now. The train has passed and the station is empty. It's all just a historical story now.

Life is such an oxymoron. So yes, having family values probably is pretty abnormal since I was unable to find a women who actually wanted that.

If they are contributing and assisting I think it is a great thing...too many parents are being shipped into the "institutional" life. The thought of not wanting to live with them but rather institutionalize them is disgusting to me. Any woman or man that puts their wants above a parents need ...I have no real use for.

If you are refering to those types that the parents still take care of them, ie: clothes money meals transportation.
I've heard they exsist I have yet to meet one of those types.but I seriously doubt they would be on my invite list for parties.

Ummmmmm!!!! - ITS UNNATURAL ALRIGHT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Or just plain lazy - take your pick!
