My inlaws used to be friends with this couple the lady was very opinionated. In particular about my brother in law in his 30s who still lived at home. She’d continuously yap about him to my mother in law.

One time visiting this womans house we had to go downstairs. There was a bed right in the middle of their basement I questioned it ad found out the house was her husband’s parents !

Not only that but her husband who was 60+ never worked a say in his life. They lived in the parents basement sponging off the elderly parents.

I basically ended them ever visiting again. When she started yapping about my brother in law I stated “You’re one to talk.”

Done & good riddance

Depends. I think it's dumb to judge someone based on no job unless if they are extremely a brat who expects someone else to do things for them.
So if he's living comfortably without a job it would be kinda rude to intervene, but if he's living in your basement making you to buy things for him and your sick of it that's fair lol.

If he has to be TOLD to get a job he ought to be offended

Depends on the context. If he’s begging for money or something and he’s reasonable capable of getting a job. Then yeah….

Yea it is... he knows that he should be earning and you're not doing any good for him by telling him that... its just insulting unless you're his parent

[AngryCarl2]

It's insulting to assume that he hasn't tried to get one, or at least considered the idea.

Interesting that most people voted no but couldn't back up their opinion.

You don't know what they are going through in life, so yes, it's offensive

[ThelmaRae]

No. Not if he’s using you

Are you yelling it from the kitchen?
