Our 32yr old son is home again for 4th time. This time he has brought his 2 sons home for 2-3 days per week. 18 months ago we said he could stay 4-6 weeks to get himself together....he is still here....... I have now given him a deadline to have his own place by christmas. I cook & wash for them.

My husband lived at home until we moved in together. He was fine and had no issues doing his half of the jobs. The hardest part was getting his mother to let go!

I'm sick of being sledged for being Gen Y! I've lived out of home as a renter since I was 16 and working as long. But I'm stuck in the rent cycle probably for the rest of my life because of the cost of housing. Think who's paying your mortgage on your investment property before you bag us!

I'm 27 my hubbie is 33.He boomeranged between the UK and his Mum and dads between the ages of 20 & 28 until we met and moved in together over here.He's a nightmare.He doesn't notice mess as he is used to someone else tidying it up, throws clothes on the floor, leaves beer bottles everywhere....

....and when his Mum (who I love very much) comes to visit she insists on doing his chores for him if he hasn't bothered doing them and makes me feel guilty for expecting 'the poor little love' to take out the rubbish and recycling BEFORE they overflow!

I have an uncle, over 40yrs, who still lives at home with his mother but is not what I'd consider a mommies boy. He works, goes out, has girlfriends ect. He also pays bills, fixes things and helps my grandmother by driving her to appointments and keeping her company ect. We are very proud of him.

I also know plenty of 'men' who are married and live away from their mums but are still mommies boys. Calling mum when they have fights with their wives, taking mums' side unneccessarily, running to her when she calls, ect.

It's very convenient to categorize certain behaviour without relative context. Not all young people who live at home beyond their teens are Nancy boys, in fact I can recommend the benefits of stability for certain individuals. Me, I left home at fourteen, occasionally returning from my adventures.

Kurt Fearnley: I was relief teaching in Blayney when I met Kurt as a young school boy. The first thing that struck me was his smile and contagious positive outlook at all times. I see nothing has changed with this outstanding Australian. Although I never saw him again, it is a testament to the power of his personality that I have not forgotten him more than 15 years later.
