7 Reasons You Should Date A Guy Who Lives At Home With His Parents

[trainer]

Are you dating a guy who still lives at home with his parents? Or are you thinking about it?

If everything about this guy is a check on your list for "boyfriend material" besides his current residence, don't panic just yet! Below are a couple of reasons why dating a guy who lives at home is NOT a deal breaker.

1. No Competition

A guy who still lives at home isn't exactly a hot commodity, so women won't necessarily be lining up to date him.

2. Clean Laundry

Chances are since his mom probably lends a hand with his laundry, he'll always smell like fabric softener instead of last week's sweaty attire.

3. Getting Caught Having Sex

The possibility of getting caught in the act is such an adrenaline rush. You'll have an adventure sneaking around trying to get it in.

4. Mom & Dad's Cooking

Whether or not she knows she is cooking for two, his mom will probably cook enough breakfast or dinner for you to chow down too! So forget all of the takeout and oven pizzas, you'll get a home cooked meal when you visit your boo.

5. Disposable Income

The money he's saving on rent he can use towards paying his student loans, moving in with you, a new car, a new endeavor, gifts for you, etc.

6. Family Man

If he's still living with his family, he probably cares for them deeply and is family oriented.

7. Meet The Parents

You get to meet the parents early and probably get to hear all of the cute stories and see all of the adorable baby pictures from his childhood.

Research has found nearly 30 percent of 25- to 34-year-olds are living at home. Don't be ashamed if you still live at home, the economy is rough! After reading this list, would you consider dating someone who lived at home?

I'm 24 and live with my parents.

-Do I have to live with my parents? No

-Did I finish college? Yes

-Do I have a professional job? Yes, I'm a Marketing Manager

-Do I have a car? Yes... but I am upgrading to a 2015 Mustang next year.

-Why do I still live with my parents? Because I got out of school last year and have a 20K student loan debt, which I have knocked down to almost 10k. I am also going to invest some money as well. By living with my parents I can finish paying off my student loans, get a brand new car and get that paid off quickly... so when I move out I will only have to pay car insurance, rent and other apartment bills.

When a woman is saying she doesn't want a man who lives at home with his parents... she is really saying she wants a man who has it all already. Listen... Rome wasn't built in a day. Once I move out, after all my stuff is taken care of, I will be better off than most people my age. Slow and steady wins the race.

[awilliam360]

I applaud to that. That was very well said

[CandyandPinkCats]

If you get the car, won't you be in another 20K in debt? That would take another 4-5 years to pay off wouldn't it? Anyway, was it hard to find the manager job? I'm curious because everyone says no one's hiring managers anywhere.

[LightsOff]

But you're working hard, and that's what counts. It doesn't really matter that you're still living with your parents, as long as you're pitching in and working hard towards getting your own place and paying off your loans.

[Opinion Owner]

@CandyandPinkCats

The car is just a my "dream car" In my area, you can get 2012-2013 used Mustangs with a little over 30-40K miles on them for roughly 13K. The car doesn't have to be "brand new" but I would like an nicer car than what I am driving, if that makes sense XD. The car I have right now... is the same car I have been driving since I was 18... my first car.

[Opinion Owner]

And to answer you other question:

Anyway, was it hard to find the manager job?

Yup! I got out of school in August of last year. After graduation, I went to dozens of interviews with no results. I got my big break with a startup company that was started a few years ago. They were looking to hire a brand new marketing manager (there are a few of us at my job) and they were willing to train me up. As of right now... they are telling me that I am one of the best Marketing Managers they have ever seen and that I have the potential to go further.

[Jessica_18]

Literally same but my student loans are gonna be like $60k+ ugh. But yes, I agree with you on all that.

[kxera]

I don't agree with all of the reasons on this, but I honestly could care less if a guy lived with his parents ( depending on the circumstances ). Unless he isn't working or trying to get a job and just bumming away and living for free just because he can then I wouldn't mind. You never know what's going on with a person. He may be in college or just got out and needs a place until he raises enough money for his own place or maybe he had an injury and couldn't work so he moved back home. His parents may even need someone to take care of them so he moved back to take care of them. You never know a person's story so it doesn't make since to just dis them because they are roommates with the people who raised them.

[kxera]

Doesn't make sense***

[FatherKnowsBest]

COULDN'T care less 😆

[kxera]

That's what I meant. @FatherKnowsBest

[GoodDogNigel]

Seeing as how you're 16, I should hope your partners still live with their parents ;p

[kxera]

@GoodDogNigel I still wouldn't mind a partner who didn't live with his parents, but for the purpose of this post and and my comment, let's pretend I'm not sixteen and would be seeking a partner who may or may not be living with his parents.

[FatherKnowsBest]

Great article! I know the job market is tighter than ever. Even college graduates are struggling to find well paying jobs to afford an apartment.

Here's a thought for all who are 20 something's and still living at home. Be proud!
Your folks hopefully are glad to have you still around to help with the daily chores. More important you can bankroll your earnings. Instead of jumping into the apartment life, leapfrog that stage and instead invest in some property. Go right from home to a condo or townhouse. Now you own something and will immediately get that mortgage tax break while building equity in your investment. You will wind up ahead of your peers who are squandering their money on expensive cars- (gain 0 equity) and big shot apartments. They will be struggling to ever make the quantum leap into home ownership.

In summary:
> Pay mom and dad a mere stipend to live at home (free laundry, wi-fi, meals) and look for future investments!

> If your folks are well to do they may even be able to supplement your purchase with a 'family loan'.

> Forget about a girlfriend for now. There are plenty of available women to go around. Save your bucks for the future. You will be better off in the long run.

If you can discipline yourself to focus on the financial end of things, the social portion will take care of itself. Women are smart enough to recognize a wise investor.

Oh, this goes for the girls too. I know of several young women in their 20's who are homeowners. So go for it girls!

😊

[PhiOmega]

Cool, u should make a take too!

[Theguyoverthere]

Well I can definitely say I struggled dating a girl who lived with her parents.

I know me sating I can't date a girl living at home would net me insane hate. Yet I have seen clear cases of girls only wanting to date a guy for his own place. One guy j knew was dating a young girl mooching off of his. living space. She wouldn't even do her own laundry and he eventually gave up on her. I guess the sex wasn't worth it for him.

The real kicker was reading s post from someone saying about how someone was dating a girl who told him he wouldn't be dating him if he didn't have his own place yet she did not have her own place. That is a huge issue because I'm sure we got tons of girls like this. They want guys who have things they don't even have for themselves. It is that "I deserve this" mindset instead of "I should go earn this" that too many girls need to learn. Instead they will try to flip things and to criticizing guys to feel better about themselves.

Granted I would definitely avoid dating a girl who lives with her parents, I can at least say I tried it. I know each living situation is different. I also live on my own so I definitely see things way differently. Some guys understand who pay rent to their families but then you got people who live rent free and claim they have no money then go off and buy the latest gadgets and video games regularly. It gets ridiculous.

[LightsOff]

People who are leeches are the worst. I can't blame you for wanting to date someone more independent and mature than that. The girls you mentioned sound horrible.

[Theguyoverthere]

@LightsOff yea I'm understanding of people during hard times or taking care of I'll parents but overall the ones I encounter and hear about are just leeching. The typical girl who tells me she is independent is the girl who just thinks it means she can leave the house whenever she wants, not paying her own bills, etc.

I do feel though that the typical guy has a much more lenient stance on girls living at home. I see girls much more focused on the guy having a place.

[Anonymous]

This can't be serious. A mommas boy who doesn't cook his own fucking food or do his own damn laundry? And I will be forced to meet his family before I'm ready? And I would have to fuck in his parents home? Sex in his parents home is very disrespectful in my opinion, especially at this point in my life. Plus, I can't be half as nasty as I'd want to be, at least not comfortably.

I understand the saving money. I understand it, because I just moved back home for grad school, so I can save instead of paying rent. I'm 25, so it definitely wasn't a first option, but I felt it was the right thing. However, I cook 99% of my own food, I buy my own groceries, I do my own laundry, I clean up after myself and others, and I don't exist like a grown up toddler who needs to be taken care of. I'm not family oriented either, nor is it a guarantee that you'll be in my family's face before I feel it's okay. Mommas boys are one of the biggest red flags. Also, seeing as we would both be living at home, the sex part is a huge con. I love sex, but I refuse to have sex in my parents home. (As I said, I consider that to be very disrespectful and I'm not comfortable at all) I need someone who isn't in the same situation, if we're ever going to do the nasty.

[KidanisCortes]

Well how about a guy who lives at home because he can't afforod to live on his own, yet he cooks, cleans his own, and saves money and works two jobs?

[genuinlysensitive]

@Kindaniscortes gold diggers dont care about that. Just be happy you found out early on before you were married or fell in love with one.

[genuinlysensitive]

@Kidaniscortes

[Opinion Owner]

@genuinelysensitive How am I a gold digger, exactly?

@KidanisCortes

Every situation is different, but unless you're going to school, paying of student loans, or something of that nature, I'm not sure how one would be working two jobs and not be able to afford living on his own.
My opinion really shouldn't be relevant to whatever situation you find yourself in, as all women are different and I I certainly can't speak for all, nor does that really matter if you can't afford it. However, I am curious. How is he working two jobs, but can't afford to live alone? Does he have children? Whats the catch there? What kinds of jobs is he working? I won't lie, the types of jobs matter to me, as I generally prefer someone on a career or academic path similar to my own. Common educational background, common interests, etc. Not a hard fast rule, but significant general preference.

[genuinlysensitive]

I don't know if you are or not, I was offering advice to KidanisCortes about a situation I was in until recently.

[Anonymous]

The funniest thing about choosing to live with your parents is how easy it makes it to spot gold diggers! As soon as she finds out about your living arrangements and suddenly "has so much to do." Bam! Gold digger! Then after a few failed relationships many women like that come online and bitch about how "no good guys approach me :'(" Guess what, bitch? They have been! You have just rejected them over and over because they didn't satisfy your purely materialistic demands at the time you met them.

Then after your career takes off and you have the money, its hilarious watching those same women come crawling back to you! The funniest part is when they don't even remember rejecting you, I swear I can barely keep a straight face when that happens!

Basically the gold diggers (and there are a lot of them!) laugh at a man who is living with his parents, then after mocking, humiliating, them and banging half the state, they think he will welcome them into his life with open arms. That is the funniest thing I have ever heard LMFAO! Once his career takes off he has either found a woman who actually loves HIM or if he just wants sex, he can get younger, much hotter, much sluttier, much tighter, materialistic whores than you!

[Theguyoverthere]

I'm working with a girl who has two kids with a guy who isn't staying around. She went online and picked up some dates yet all she'll come out and say is hoe the dates she meets shower her with money. She's flaunting about how guys are buying her a new cell phone and giving her $100 dollars for nothing yet she'll get defensive without any accusations and say she's not "doing anything" with them. With the amount of guys on there I certainly don't think it is a coincidence that she keeps innocently bumping into guys with money.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes and Im assuming the hoe date "friend", surprise surprise won't date any guy once she finds out he still lives with his parents... I am shocked!!!

[Anonymous]

Reason #8: Because living at home doesn't necessarily tell anything bad about the person's character.

People have their reasons why they live at home. Maybe they are having a hard time with something. Not everyone has an easy time figuring out their way through life. That doesn't mean they have nothing to offer, though.

I live at home. I have a bachelor's degree in business, and no debt. However, I really don't like the field, I find it bone-dry boring and working in an office would push me further towards becoming a boring person. I understand work isn't going to be fun 24/7, but it doesn't have to feel like jail either. Is it really a success to live on your own but to be another one of those stressed-out, constantly angry, boring, probably alcoholic office professionals, always grumbling about how he wishes could have been an athlete or a movie star? I needed some time to find something that I could at least feel somewhat interested in, that still makes a respectable wage. I needed some space to find myself, I needed to take some time and figure out why things always go badly for me so I could break the cycle. I was on a path to becoming an angry, boring old man, and I needed to get off it and set a new course.

It's great for you if you've got it all figured out, but don't call me a piece of shit because I have a harder time than you with the things you find easy. I do have something to offer, I do have worth, I have some substance to me. I could be doing better but I'm not less of a person.

[JSmith925]

Damn this is a smart take! I wish most young women could see this but now maybe you have helped them.

As I once heard it put, there is a big difference between living with your parents and living off of them. If the guy is staying at home but gets on well with his folks and works a regular job, that's one thing. If he's a troll playing video games in their basement, that's another!

Family is absolutely critical to your relationship. Being able to do a bit of reconnoitering and early relationship building is a good thing.

[genuinlysensitive]

"Family is absolutely critical to your relationship." Agreed, too bad so many women don't want family, but instead money.

[shyguy227]

Hey fuck it I will happily admit I still live with my parents, I mean minus the fact that I am going to university now and have some financial issues with the hugely expensive apartments in my local area.

Minus that I happily
- pay my share of the bills
- Do my own washing and chores
- Buy and cook food for myself
- do enjoy spending what income i do have left on parents or activities we do
- don't suffer from a lot of stress e. g no money for bills
- less stressed from working longer hours at work so can focus on studies
- spend more quality time with my younger sisters

Hey I get my own space they get theirs its all good : )

[live4love]

I completely respect that, I accept guys living at home but when they have to have everything done by their mothers it's kind of a red flag cause I don't want to be their mom you know

[shyguy227]

nah @live4love I couldn't do that I need to be self sufficient in a lot things I do I feel much better about it haha

[Rawrzz]

Super deflection. Thays what we in the business call a logical fallacy. doesn't mean it's actuall bad for you, either, except you sorta left that half out to imply it was bad for you.

[LittleSally]

@Rawrzz Yup. =)

[clampfan101]

Well, that just proves anyone can get together if they find enough love in each other. Right? 😊

[Lonewolf_1296]

I moved back home back in June because this April I close the deal purchasing my house, a two apartment complex to be precise, will live in one and rent the other. That's a bit of money I'll save in rent that will go towards furniture etc. (I pay rent to my father, although a fraction of what my apartment rent was). But looks like all it matters is the fact that I'm at home and I'm a loser because I can't afford a house's down payment and an apartment's rent (which I could, but again all that money = new furnishing and turning the garage into a gym) . The way you just want to put down people is sad and stains women as a whole.

[LittleSally]

@Lonewolf_1296 I never put down anyone... If you're referring to me. If that's how you want to take it - that's your business.

[Lonewolf_1296]

If you talk like that in real life and you aren't aware of your condescending, down putting ways, good luck with that.

[LittleSally]

@Lonewolf_1296 Sounds like you're bitter for some reason... I was pretty supportive to people living at home. I live at home. Nothing wrong with that. A financial situation that doesn't allow a person to live on their own - what choice do they have?

Not condescending - logical.

[Lonewolf_1296]

Are you done ranting?

[Takada]

I don't expect a guy to have his own place, because jobs are not exactly readily available anymore, nor do they pay juniors enough to afford a house or apartment. But don't pretend like it's something desirable. It's just something that should be accepted by women.

[genuinlysensitive]

I notice you are not American though. If only you could enlighten more of your American sisters of this...

[crayven]

Written by a guy who lives with his parents ofc :)

Where i live , living with your parents is a tradition, not something to be shunned.
It keeps us closer to them so we can take care of our parents in their old age.

"moving out" until you are 30 is very rare and getting harder due to economical struggles.
The western model is appealing but unattainable and is also affecting familial ties.

I live with my parents because i choose too, the money i'd pay for rent i can go out and have fun :)

[Kris85]

The odds of me dating a guy that lived at home at my age are next to none. I'm not interested. I'm a single mother of three, have my own place, car, and I go to school full time and I don't have anyone doing anything for me. I expect my men to be independent and have their own place and job. there's no excuse for it at my age. End of story.

[crayven]

A guy who has all that will not want you, though.
He wants his own kids, not some random fuckhead's.

[Kris85]

@crayven , there are men I have dated that already have their own kids. It could be said about the same with women dating men with kids. They want their own "not some random fuckheads". Goes both ways buddy. You obviously don't have children and probably still live at home so no need to comment on something you have no idea what you're talking about.

[crayven]

How is my choice in living relevant to your choice in fucking again?

[CincinnatiRedsfan]

@Kris85 Unfortunately, age has nothing to do with stability or income. It's not like a guy in his mid 30's can walk into a job and say "You know what, since I'm in my 30's now, pay me 50 buck an hour, so I can be wealthy. Ok"?

I think it depends on whether the guy puts EFFORT into his life or not.

[Since82ny]

Guys noticed she never said she had a job. I don't think I'd want to date anyone who's surviving off child support/alimony with baggage and is judging me because I don't have my career straight yet.

[PhiOmega]

I completely agree with this, since highschool I've beem supporting my self, and helping my morher and brother financially

Go to school, work, work, work, been in my own place with my own furniture for over a yr now

Think that's how lots of texans r tho

[ConsultantIsBack]

The odds of me upvoting are 100%. End of story.
lmao

[Rawrzz]

That's cool. Men and women have expectations. I expect my women to have symmetrical facial features, tight bodies, and nice sized breasts, with a toned ass. That is pretty much the requirement for women. Men have it easier, in that regard. Men can always make something of themselves. It's a bit harder to become attractive.

Though yeah. Raising another man's kids. No way.

@PhilOmega You have clearly not been to South Dallas or Houston.

[OpenClose]

I'm just living at home to blast through my student loans. Should be able to pay them off in about a year. My parents are awesome, and it's nice living here rent-free, but that doesn't mean I prefer it.

I used to have my own apartment during school. My social life was through the roof, the pace was higher, and I actually cooked more and ate better.

Once I moved back in, that all went to shambles.

I'm not saying you just reject guys like me. Indeed, if he's cool, don't hold back. Especially because a guy probably wouldn't reject you just because you live with YOUR parents.

But I am saying that a guy on his own is probably on his feet a little more, and making more of his own decisions.

God, I can't wait to get back out there.

[Yellowbone]

Umm... no.

You know, the funny thing is that I've met so many men who want the best quality woman that's out there, she has to be hot, has to work & be in school, has to have HER own place, etc. but the minute a girl like this requests the same from a guy, she's such a terrible person, & even worse, we then end up getting dudes writing articles like this. Laughable.

[dartmaul15]

... seriously?
newsflash, we're al a bunch of hyorcites. No, not talking about guys. I'm talking about EVERYONE!
Girls write a set of standards they demand, then bitch when men do the same. Men write a set of standards they demand, then bitch when women do the same.

We're all a fucking bunch of hypocrites that clearly have lost connection with reality. "it's fine for me to have standards and want the best ofr myself, but woe to you if you try to exclude me from your own standards".

I think it's about time everyone shuts the hell up, sits the fuck down, and thinks through what the hell they're saying! Bcause we're acting like a bloody bunch of babies crying "mine, mine, mine", like the world owes us just for being alive!
(people who swear a lot are supposedly more honest)

-dartmaul15

[genuinlysensitive]

I really dont care at all if she has her own place, or is not working. As long as she is willing to move out when we get serious.

[Yellowbone]

@genuinlysensitive A lot of people say that, & I totally understand, however in my experience, a relationship can't work if both of you aren't financially stable. I may be biased because my last ex used me for money because he refused to do better for himself. That's why I have the standards that I do.

[genuinlysensitive]

You can be financially stable and live with your parents. When I was I was more financially stable than most of my "cool" friends with their own places, drowning in credit card debt, with student and auto loans, spending $1,200+ a month on rent alone not to mention going out every week.

The fact that you and so many women confuse gaudy spending with "financial stability" and saving with "being unstable" is quite disturbing.

I do understand about where you are coming from about your ex though. That bitch STILL owes me money!

[Yellowbone]

@genuinlysensitive No, you're not truly financially stable unless you can pay your own rent & all of your bills. That's the goal anyway, right?

You guys need to focus on dating women that are on your own level in regards to lifestyle & finances, instead of wondering why women out of your league won't date you.

[SilenRose]

@Yellowbone Thank you!

[genuinlysensitive]

Exactly bills like monthly loans, insurance, credit cards. What too many people refuse to realize is that conspicuous spending and being fiscally responsible.

[Yellowbone]

@genuinlysensitive Fact of the matter is EVERYONE is going to have to pay those things in their lifetime. It's called being an adult & taking appropriate responsibilities. Though, those of you who are trying to prolong childhood won't understand that.

[genuinlysensitive]

How is blowing all your money now instead of saving it for the future being responsible? You want to talk about prolonging childhood? Try ACTING mature and doing whats best for yourself in the long run instead of impulsively doing whatever you want whenever you want it. THAT is prolonging childhood.

[Yellowbone]

@genuinlysensitive Except you're in your 30's so that argument technically doesn't apply.

& when did I say that was a bad thing? "Saving" should only take you a few years, max. Not until you're in your 40's.

No matter how you word this, women are always going to want the guy who lives on his own & is financially established at the age of 30. He can provide & take care of a family. He's also more responsible because he doesn't run to his parents or move back in with them everytime something financially goes wrong. THAT is what's admirable because I'd never live with my husband's parents. Hell no.

You can argue with me all you want to, but the truth is you're never going to be as desirable as a man who lives on his own. I don't care about "saving". It's about being independent & knowing that at a certain age, living with your parents is not an option.

[genuinlysensitive]

Yea I am on my own, good job assuming that because I disagree with you I'm not though. Just like you are assuming that conspicuous spending somehow means fiscal stability, because it doesn't.

[Yellowbone]

@genuinlysensitive Please enlighten me on how living on your own equates to "conspicuous spending". As an adult, you're technically expected to live on your own. Here you go again... trying to imagine that men who live at home are more desirable than men who don't.

[genuinlysensitive]

Conspicuous, meaning- : very easy to see or notice

: attracting attention by being great or impressive

I never said anything about who is more attractive than others that was you. Although if someone is basing attraction solely on conspicuous spending, I don't foresee a very long or healthy relationship for anyone who does.

[Yellowbone]

@genuinlysensitive All you did throughout this whole thread was whine & argue with people who disagreed with the article, sounding butthurt because most people with common sense know that living on your own is more desirable.

I'm sorry sweetie but people have the right to be as selective as they want to be. I don't get why you're so focused on who other people date. No amount of guilt-tripping is gonna make a woman feel sorry & date men who live at home, if she doesn't already do so.

[Yellowbone]

@genuinlysensitive Oh, & living on your own doesn't mean you're attracting attention with money. You're delusional.

[genuinlysensitive]

Actually all I did was try to point out, just because a guy is spending money that you can SEE, on rent, a new car, fancy clothes, going out every night, DOES NOT mean he has money in they bank. In fact big spenders are often the least financially stable people. It is usually the careful, frugal ones who don't spend as much on such things that are more stable. Well I guess you'll just have to find out the hard way.

[Yellowbone]

@genuinlysensitive Except spending money on rent does not mean you are living lavishly nor a big spender.

[fun-weird-guy]

Maybe he is paying rent because they will not let them live there for free after going to college. He also might have to help pay bills since he is old enough to work and his parents may not want a free loader. Maybe the reason he is still living with his parents is because he can not afford to move out. He may have do the laundry and cook once in a while so he may not always be getting his parents home cooking. Some parents would not let him b like he is still a littl kid just because he is living with them.

[fun-weird-guy]

With that said he may not have disposable income. Who would want the possibility of being caught by their parents when having sex? No one I know of.

[Ulyss]

I live with my sisters but I had to learn how to cook and save money and pay for bills because everything you listed I find unattractive in what most guys have the reason I don't move out is because rent in Los Angeles is horrible the minimum is 600$ a month and in a crappy neighborhood I'm currently saving up money to move to a new state where the rent is low and I am able to live very comfortable while going to school and work, if women find me unattractive because I am doing the smart thing then I don't want nothing to do with those type of women aka *gold diggers*

[genuinlysensitive]

Amen brother! Try living in Jersey, were talking 800 minum for rent!

Getting my own place hasn't made a difference. However, a gal still living with her folks wouldn't bother me at all. I don't place that high a priority on sex in the relationship, so I can totally bypass that fear of getting caught in the act. If her folks want me to save it for marriage, I totally don't have a problem with that.

Besides, bonding with her family makes bonding with her easier. To know that there's no competition for her affections nor animosity or suspicion towards me boosts my confidence a great deal. Plus, they're gonna be a part of the equation one way or another anyway. So I wanna know what I'm getting myself into. May as well go the one-stop shopping route.

Nearly all my ex's and current bfs lived with their parents. doesn't really say anything about their character as it could be for a number of reasons
like one was caring for his grandmother, the other 2 were saving to learn to drive and for other things as its just too expensive to move out so why judge them for that
my current boyfriend lives at home as its tol expensive to move out on minimum wage and wants to learn to drive and i get on with his family great because of it making it easier for us and he can afford to treat me when we decide we should go out so why would it affect a person as its them your with not their living situation

No competition isn't appealing, I'd rather have the competition but him still go "no your the best" then have none

why the laundry thing count? His mom doing his Laundry is actually a MAJOR point deduction on his part. You can do your own laundry when you live at home, I do mine, my sister does her, my brother is starting to do his.

Getting caught having sex sounds more humiliating then a rush...

Wouldn't need mom and dad's cooking if he could do it himself

Everything after that for me is just "eh"

Depends. If he makes a good living and saves but lives with family because he's single and doesn't want to live alone... I understand that. Not everyone is cut out for by themselves. If he's at home because he has no job, no goals and can't do anything... No!
