    Of course your parents are suffering both privately with their own freedom and financial having to provide support, but you are too cut up in your own greed and selfishness to notice it. Since when was it normal for a man-baby approaching 30 having never ever flown the nest and lived alone independently? Never. Go and grow a pair.

    This is about the USA. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/12/10/number-of-adult-americans-living-with-their-parents_n_795185.html . I find the points mentioned quite apt for the UK situation. Reweird, not being the brightest poster on this forum, fails to comprehend that for many " man babies "( an insulting phrase imho ) are forced by the financial constraints of the property market. Pure and simple.

    My 25 year old niece has found herself in that position in the south east. Now is living with her partner in a shared house. Both work. Her job as line manager pays a decent wage.

    When I was her age, living in the same town, my wife and I easily bought a three bed semi. Oh and that was when a lot of wage inflation was taking place. In a few years the mortgage was like pocket money.
