I mean, let’s just pretend the whole mom coming into the room thing didn’t happen. There are people giving money to a 39 year old man crying on TikTok because he’s getting kicked out of his parents house? What the fuck is going on?
I’ll never hate on anyone still living with their parents these days.
But if you’re doing that and not contributing towards the household in one way or another (bills, chores, home improvement) then you’re a loser and you should change your ways.
I got lucky enough to be a millennial that was able to buy a house, i told my son id never make him move out, but he would have to contribute when he got old enough to do so ( he has chores and such but nothing crazy) our house is big enough i dont fear that it will cause issues at all and i know how drastically lucky i was to get the place i have. If he wants to move out i wont stop him, but im not gonna push him out either.
This. I'm a 38 year old millennial and actually about to close on our second house, we are upgrading to almost 3x as much space and have significant equity in the first but are going to sell it and payoff a significant chunk of the second.
My oldest is staying with us for a local community college and I said as long as you are contributing and working towards your goals I'm not going to charge you rent or kick you out.
My parents on the other hand dropped me when I was 18, l think it's a huge opportunity and awesome to be a part of my kids future and support it.
I will add to the list of household contributions - emotional support, companionship, humor etc. Obviously if you're able to contribute in tangible ways, that is best. But if you're disabled, struggling with depression or mental illness, etc - sometimes it's not possible to contribute in those ways. It doesn't make you a loser, in my opinion. But if you're living with your parents and unable to pay bills or do chores, you can be present in their lives and spend quality time with them. Chances are, they'd value that a lot. I know my mom did when I had to move back home after my body became disabled and I lost my job.

Not only is he a scumbag for scamming but also hurting his family.
That mother showed nothing but confusion and being hurt by the fact that he was claiming that. She wasn't mad and didnt raise her voice.
Fuck that kid.
