This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

I read somewhere that like 60 percent of adults under 30 still live with their parents. You should ask your mom how her generation screwed up everything for their kids.
Her generation...
Well I mean...
Mao's little red books intensifies
(okay jokes aside, I was told my generation was "supposed" to have it better than theirs... in terms of like them growing up in Mainland China 60s/70s vs me having the opportunity to emigrate during childhood... but maybe I just got very bad luck and mom got extremely lucky in terms of "being successful in life")
Yeah 2 of ours plus the girlfriend of one of my daughters live with us. The couple both have pretty good jobs and are saving up to get a place in the summer, then we will be down to one, the last in a very long line of children. I'm not in a hurry, my mom kicked me out at 17 and it really set me back in life. Have been through this several times with mine, they do leave when they want to, and eventually they want to. Having time to work & not pay rent helps with getting started on adult life.
Two of my kids live with us, between 25 and 30. Our third (in that age range) lives with his biological dad. Though part of that is for health reasons.
