Have you ever met someone who has no job and lives with and off of their parents, then when asked to get a job complain about rights and being an adult, etc? Yeah, I was listening to Mama Mia! and for some reason I thought about this.

You're looking at him.

Hey! I'll have you know I have a job! ...stop looking at me like that...

In time the answer shall be revealed.

Well, I have no job and I live off my parents. I do go too college though, so I guess it's not exactly the same.

You're looking at him.

Still, I don't think you can meet yourself.

Most of the people I have known who have been in such a situation have never complained when asked to get a job. I myself was in such a situation for a while, and I was glad when I was yanked forcefully out of my funk.

Now I'm a little overworked, but that's my choice.

Not sure where the connection lies, but that's fine...I'm no ABBA fan. :p

Do anything they want because they're X years old.

:eek: which volumes of ABBA?

Oh, Abba Gold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABBA_Gold:_Greatest_Hits) and More Abba Gold (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/More_ABBA_Gold:_More_ABBA_Hits).

Do anything they want because they're X years old.

ah, well that's what i was saying when i was 12. never met an actual adult that says that. they might be mentally deficient if they did, i'd reckon.

There's a difference between living off one's parents when one is fourteen, and being 40, unemployed, and playing XBox 360 all day.

40, unemployed, and playing XBox 360 all day.

if someone was like that they would be my hero :)

I'm one of those people! :mad:

Though I am 15.. :p

It's alright for you. I don't know any adults like that, except in movies.

I like not having to work. :)

Well, I've sort of been such a person. I am living in my parents' attic at present, and I'm only working part-time, but both of those are caused by my health, not by any desire to be lazy. I'd love to be able to get a full-time job and move back out (or, even better, go back to school and move back out), and as soon as my health allows me to do so, I will.

You mean parasites? I, ah, er um. http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/uhoh.gif NO, of course not! I never even talk to those, er, people!

Never, of course not...really. You know me fellas http://www.studip.uni-goettingen.de/pictures/smile/megawink.gif I would never, even think, of errrr...yeah....

My daughter has no job and lives with and off me. She frequently complains that she is an adult and should be treated as such.

To be fair though, she's only just gotten her MPH and is looking for work. But I'm really tired of her living with me.

I had a friend who is like that. 30 years old now and plays WoW all day long, complaining about his health problems that directly stem from his weight problems that directly stem from him sitting on his butt all day long eating the food his mother cooks for him and brings to him at his desk. I think he leaves his house once a week to go to his d&d sessions.

He says 'I could lose weight and get a job and move out if I wanted to... but I don't want to, and nobodies making me, so I'll stay!' and then complains some more about how his body hurts because of his health issues.

:headbang: I don't know how I'd deal with it if I managed to raise a kid that was that level of co-dependant and lazy and opportunistic. I'm hoping I'm a better parent than that. We'll see, won't we :D

My stepbrother. Complained about living at home at the age of 18, not going to college, not being able to get money, etc. etc. etc.

Living alone right now at the age of 20, and my parents are trying to get him to come back. So I might have that to look forward to now...

40, unemployed, and playing XBox 360 all day.
I wanna be that. :D for real. :D

Sucks my mom won't let me do that, gold-digging bitch. :mad:
