Because it's the truth perhaps? If the friend's parents really want the girl to move out and get a job... the easiest way is to stop providing her free room and board.
I mean if you have a 20-something child still sucking off the parental milk supply... why would she give that up?
But take the milk away from her and... gee maybe she'll suddenly realize rent and food don't just fall from the Mommy & Daddy Tree... you have to earn it.
Thus... she'll go out and get a job.
You don't teach birds how to fly by gluing them to the nest. You teach them how to fly by kicking their butts out of it.
Do you know someone like the person I just described? Is it common?
