Like many people have said : rich people don't do this. Allowing your kid to make mistakes and have fun within reasonable limits is helping him grow. I stayed at home all through college, I got my law degree from a reputable college and I still had to work hard to get a really good job. Things aren't easy out there. The chances of making it at 18 with no money and support are very slim. You'll dump someone into poverty and you'll have just delivered a poor kunt to society. Thanks for raising a poverty peasant who will most likely spawn more peasants.

As if being a supportive parent will turn your kid into some douchebag hedgefund baby. You're giving a kid you hopelfully raised well a strong platform to start life. You provide education, food and guidance for as long ast hey need it so they can be BETTER off than you.
What is wrong with someone joining the military?

Like I said before. My co-worker who joined the Marines at age 17, and then the department at 21 is more admirable than someone who lived at home till they were 30.

Let's all be thankful he didn't have so many of your attitudes.

Dad is an idiot for trying to do this and lol @ miscers backing it up saying the kid is going to be coddled until 30. Nothing wrong with letting an 18-23 year old live at home IF they are actively trying to improve their lives.

My brother and I took different routes. I left for college, took loans, and spent over 100k in rent in the time I was away for school. Meanwhile he went to a nearby college and lived home the whole time. He's a lot closer to buying a house than I am.

Why would you raise a kid just to say "**** you" when they turn 18? I'm not a fan of buying them a house or a Mercedes at 22, but they will get a lot further getting help with a place to live, modest car, things like that.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.
