Reply #53: yeah, but that's the breaks when you live with your parents even (ney especially) at the ops age [View All]

and please don't take that as a knock on the op. economics dictate a lot of things for us unfortunately, especially these days. but if the average person at age 50 moved in with the average parents of 70+ the parents would be trying to tell the 50-year old how to run her life.

i had to move back in with my folks at 27 and stay for over a year. my parents are the coolest, most progressive people on the planet. but good gawd they'd drive me nuts if i had to live with them. when my partner and i go to visit them on holidays all she sees are the open minded liberals and not the pull me to the side in the kitchen and go on and on about career choices or car note choices etc.

to quote a line from breakfast club "everybody's home life sucks or else we'd live with our parents forever."
