I don't know who exactly calls it pathetic but in a dating situation it isn't ideal simply because it's just a turn off to have to be a teenager sneaking your girlfriend in and out of ur room. Plus depending ur age you should of been focusing on being independent
because people are pathetic and like to shame people that do things differently.

I don’t mind tbh. I myself live with my mom and I’m 26. I have lived outside with a roommate and ex boyfriend and chose to come back home because I missed being home. I prefer living at home instead of living with room mates or by myself and I’m currently single. I know many people would judge me for this but fuck them, that’s my life and I do what’s good for myself.

My brotehr and I had alway slived with our parents and we are alreayd a grown up. I never consider it pathetic. I mean I know taht from a certain age people become independent and want to be alone and not anymore with your parents. Like when they are 18 and above. But you can't judge others who are more than 18 and still living with their parents as you dont know the sitatuio of why that is happening.
In certain cultures you move out of the parents house when you get married, and not before and that is not pathetic. Geee they are your parents for God sake.
It’s pathetic that they consider it pathetic. Where I’m from people live with their parents a lot because we have closer familial bonds. I loved living with my parents! I miss them immensely. It was very hard to leave for uni. ❤️😭
It's much more excusable in the west these days due to financial situations but generally if you are a guy and you live with your parents then you can kiss your dating life goodbye.
I personally wouldn't want to live with my parents because I would never feel like I grew up and got to experience independence. I live with friends but they don't order me around like my parents did when I was younger. We are equals.

it depends on the reason. you have a good reason and i dont think yours would affect getting a date. on the other hand, my 28 yr old beither lives in our basement because he's too lazy to get a job and spends all of his money on beer... thats pathetic
It makes a major difference if "you are living with your parents" or your "parents are living with you". "You are living with your parents" semantically implies that you parents provide for you, which a certain age means, you have some manner of problem. Either medical, mental or no job whatever. However if "your parents are living with you" that implies that you provide for them, which is very honorable and a great aspiration. I want to provide for my parents too at some point.

I got a buddy that’s almost 40 and lives with his parents because he is SUPPORTING THEM. They are both elderly and have major health problems. He’s a very hard worker.
I lived my parents for four months while I was looking for a place to live. I paid them $100 a week to day I was a TENANT.
Girls (and guys) don’t be so quick to judge. You never know the whole story.

I just finished watching an Amy Schumer stand-up comedy special. Basically she was talking about how much people judge other people. It actually spoke to me pretty deep. You really shouldn't care too much about what people think of you. Just be happy.
Average age in the us to move out of your parents house today is age 27. Most people take 6 years to finish what woyld ve a 4 year degree, add on a year or two to start working in a career and make money and save, 27 isn't so absurd.
Usually down to independence, being able to party and make mistakes, having sex and being loud. All those reckless things you can just go out and do anyway, living with parents is always a good thing
Surely parents raise kids so they can live independent happy lives not so they can stay home and look after them. You don't have to live under same roof as parents to do that.
Its is not. Family unity is better... Those who say its pathetic have no values. They just find ways to get rid of their parents and enjoy extra freedom!

It's funny how everyone thinks only for themselves, they'd not imagine how it is when you have a mental illness or any other difficulty and would either just call you a pathetic piece of shit or pity you like some weaktard.
What's the point of living like that, def just better to fucking kill oneself when being made a shitfeast of by everyone, it's not like one chooses being a fucking autist or getting socially excluded for being one.

Tbh reading all Western people talking every fucking single day about freedom and independence a piece of shit like myself who needed to be institutionalized for severe depression along my autism just pisses the shit out of me. I did put effort and wanted to enjoy that life but all I got is being fucking humiliated and tbqh I'm kinda done with this bs
It isn't so much living with parents that is looked down upon, its being unable or unwilling to take care of yourself that is. Few would look down on someone that lives with their parents to take care of them in their old age.

I don't care about dating so that's not a problem.
This response is really pathetic
Why?
because people are pathetic and like to shame people that do things differently.

Not Pathetic. My Mom and Dad's Friend didn't Marry Until in her 50's Due to taking Care of Mom and Dad... xx

And yes I would date someone who lives with his parents. But if we decided to move in together that’s when it would have to be a place for just us
Good answer

I'm a rather quiet person and don't party. Plus I'm interested in dating as well.
My kids live at home, but its due to a fire. They lost everything.
Get renters insurance. They learned the hard way.
Well you're 19 so that's normal, especially if you're studying and that's why you're living with them.
Surely parents raise kids so they can live independent happy lives not so they can stay home and look after them. You don't have to live under same roof as parents to do that.
It’s normalro stay with family in many cultures
You don’t have to live in a different house to be an adult
Many adults care for their parents and living with them Provides community that stopping by does not
Its is not.
Family unity is better...
Those who say its pathetic have no values.
They just find ways to get rid of their parents and enjoy extra freedom!
