You really should check your attitude at the door or do not post on a public forum.
The poster you quoted isn't the only one who sounds like a jerk.
In regards to your original post, whatever the individual family has determined is right for them is what is right for them. It is or should be kept between that family alone. It is that simple and not the business
of others no matter how *close* you believe you are.
To turn your words back onto you, you shouldn't be so oversensitive, or else stay off a public forum. Once again, I did not impose my beliefs. How did I have an attitude? Just because I asked what other people think? Enlighten me please, on your assumptions.
I think if you are a parent and your "child" is older than mid 20s and cannot afford living on her/his own for a long period of time or probably ever, you failed as a parent. I am excluding health issues, college, fresh divorce and looking for a new job as they are unplanned emergency situations.
But a normal, healthy mid 20s should generally be mentally and financially able to live on his/her own and should WANT to be out of their parents house and establish their own life.
I know a family where one son (28) moved back in with his parents. He wasn't making it financially on his own and is now saving money for whatever the future holds. No shame in that.

In many cultures and other countries, adults are expected to live with their parents, unless they are married.
North America is a mixture, a melting pot of many different cultures.
Go nitpick on someone else's post.
