okay so i'm just curious as to how others see this. i mean there are so many circumstances to the situation that may have to warant goin home to momma especially in these very hard times...

so what do you think when you find out someone lives with their mom?

for instance... i may have to move back to help her. i'm not about to leave her hanging from the economy downfall... plus its a deal. i can go back to school. but... who knows. its up in the air.

but! there was once this guy who took me out and he admitted he lived with his mom. he was 31, smoked alot of pot and pretty much did nothin but work part time at barnes & noble books.

sooo.. whats the general consensus?

Pretty obvious for each situation.

I don't see it as anything bad..I mean yeah cause of the economy is so bad. you guys are helping out each other.
but if a guy lives with his mommy all his life and never moved out once..there's got to be something wrong.

Hmmmmm I guess it does depend on the circumstances, but I gotta admit, when I here a guy is living at home with his parents Its a definite turn off.

It would depend on the situation. If they move home to help out their parent, I don't see a problem with that at all.

Good question. I live with my mom. I am 37 and I dont do it because I have to, I choose to. She has diabetes and had her leg amputated above the knee. So for me it is more of an easier way to help take care of her. Its not out of necesity. It does however make it harder to date women, some of them as soon as they here the words live and mom in the same sentance just turn away and dont bother to find out why.

see thats exactly the was i used to think too. i mean i wanted someone independant and strong. not someone who's livin in mom's basement.

but then drama went down and my own mom was like "mija.. i'm working so much overtime just to pay the mortgage" and it scared the crap outta me.

now... i dont know what to think.

Personally...not my bag....right off the bat you can see that the person is dependant and that dependancy will switch to you at the first opportunity. I myself will settle for nothing less than an independant. Makes things far easier to keep things on an equal level. But, that doesn't make them less of a person. I know plenty of people who live with thier parents or kin....I love them like true friends and/or family...still the fact remains...not something I go for.

Oooops...just read some prior postings and I definitely agree with the living with thing in order to help ones family.

Moving in with Momma isn't shameful but mooching off her to smoke pot and work part time at a book store is pretty crappy I hope that loser didn't get a second date!

My Mom & I were roomies a couple of times...she even spent her last days living with me...& for the most part, it was great! She only insisted that I call her by her first name while out in public...she was smokin' HOT & didn't want the young studs knowing she had a kid as old as me!

MY GOD YOU'RE CUTE AS A BUTTON!

OKAY I'M DONE.

I have stayed with my mother as an adult (to help her during difficult times - health) and would do so again. With that said, it's dating suicide if for anyone interested in anything other than a tryst.

I don't think I'd want to date a woman who was interested in a guy who lived with his Mom! That's hard to imagine even when it is for altruistic reasons!

lol I said when I hear that a guy has moved back home...its a huge stereotype I know...I have ended up being the responsible "bread winner" before in a relationship so I have a bit of a personal tarnished opinion....in todays markets you do what it takes to survive and to keep your family together...Its commendable you wont let your mom down .

LOL see thats just cute. but i wonder if its more socially acceptable for a girl than a guy. ya know? just curious how that thought came to me.

but your mom sounded wonderful ;p

oh and graham .. no no second date. good god no.

It depends on the situation, but since my LTRs were very affected by the Mommas, so I tend to shy away from that.

PFFFT!!! don't be denyin it.

Good for you! Right now I'm the bread winner for my family its hard but I could not imagine going back to my rents I love having my own place.

I moved out of my moms as soon as I graduated high school in 93. Been on my own since. I had a steady job for ten years and purchased a brand new custom built house. I lived in the house for about three years, and hard times took their toll. I ended up selling the house and moving in with my moms, to get back on my feet.

Does this make me a loser?

I moved back in the the basement apartment of my parents because of my fathers health was fastly on the decline. If some chick has a problem with it she can keep stepping!!!!!people that matter dont mind, people that mind dont matter!!!!
