Re: Failure To Launch

I guarantee you....that is common in about 60-70% of all households with respect to young people in the 20-25....approaching late 20's category.
You won't hear it from most parents tho', its not something most want to admit to facilitating....but the days of independent, mature and self-determining 20 year old males and females is a few decades ago now.
This is simply modern parenting culture and it is rampant.

Its not great news...but remember its not the kids fault (odd term, I guess I should be using the term adult male/man) and they shouldn't be vilified for this.
This falls fairly and squarely on poor and misled parenting choices...and not something wrong with young people.

Now...imagine your daughter considering dating or marrying this 'young' man. It's not easy to support that idea because the odds of him being a responsible partner to your daughter are clearly not very good...unfortunately.

Unfortunately, I think its going to get worse before it gets better...
