Do you think there is anything wrong for a 30 year old man to live with his parents?
Assuming he has a well-paying job, helps around the house, and isn't a financial burden to his parents?
And no, the question isn't about me.
Other posters have covered the sensible issues, finances, saving up for a house/study/business, helping elderly parents, illness, etc... on one hand and the need for privacy and indepenance on the other... All very reasonable and mature... BUT....
There is a key thing we're not discussing and bears talking about... Is he stunted, or not...
A 30 year old man living with his parents is ok, as long as he doesn't have a strong attachment to Star Wars and/or Superhero movies and comics, or video games... If he is a big fan of these things, then that is a red flag and he should take a serious look at himself and what he wants from life...
Does he have action figures on display? Red flag...
Does he have posters of superheroes hanging? Red flag...
Does he wear video game inspired T-Shirts and does he have a video game "set-up"/station? Red flag...
Does he 'vape' or smoke up? Red flag...
Any StarWars items on display? Major red flag...
Does he self-identify as a gamer? Intervention may be required...
These red flags are there not to judge a lifestyle, but to send a warning that the guy might be living in a stunted consumerist stuper... He needs a wake up call if this is the case as he will be missing out on real life... The 30s are some of a man's prime years in terms of actual living, not being distracted by pre-adolescent junk culture... These things are major red flags when added to the fact that the guy is 30 and living at home, if he has his own place, is married with kids and such they are not big issues, but in the context of a homebound 30 year old they should be sounding alarm bells...
Also, is his private life good? Does he have love in his life? Intimacy at least? If not, this is something to address.
These are some interesting points and are certainly worth considering.
