What is your opinion of adult children staying with you? (party, infant)

OP is proud of his situation. He's found a way to never grow up and to never get called to the carpet about his life.

Probably a 51/50. Up to 3 days or 2 weeks held against your will in a psych ward. Sounds fun OP, doesnt it?

You either will kill yourself or you won't . If you really want to die it won't matter if your parents allow you to live at home.

I didn't know asperbergers meant "proud to be a moocher". I bet that would insult a lot of people with challenges.

Where did the OP go? He hasn't posted in a while. There is a lot of good advice on here for him but I doubt he's listening.

I suspect he's fled in terror, unfortunately. (And I do mean unfortunately, because as you said, there's quite a bit of useful advice for him buried under all the vitriol.)

He is still around, he made a blog entry today.

[Aredhel]

But he's clearly not reading this thread anymore (as he admits in that blog entry). He didn't like the message that was coming through loud and clear, so he fled.

This may sound harsh--but sometimes you have to do what you have to do. Holding your parents hostage with those words is a lousy thing to do.

You can't possible be happy. How do you feel when you are around your peers? I would think embarrassed.

He can only put his head in the sand for so long. He'll be living 20 or 30 years without his parents, so it's just a matter of time till reality hits him.

Even if his parents leave him some money, they probably won't have enough to cover their retirement and 30 years of his life in the same standard of living. And they not only provide the money, but the ability to manage it. So the parents should be doing more to get him to be more independent or he'll end up in a state run home in his old age.

[Aredhel]

Agreed, FelixTheCat. That's what a lot of us posting in this thread were trying to tell SilverPlatter: he needs to become financially independent of his parents for HIS sake. But unfortunately he didn't want to hear that.

OP, if you were really suicidal, it would be good for you to stay with your parents if they are supportive and caring. If you are just trickling them, then I would call such a person... well, "jerk" will be the nicest.
