    I would say usually not normal although it really depends on the circumstances.

    There are scenarios where I think it would be considered normal for a 40 year old to live with their mum.

  • I don't think it's normal, but if he has a job and is helpful around the house, then I see no problem.

    It's pretty common in my area. The cost of apartments and homes are too high here despite the fact that this town is an ugly worn down sack of crap. XD

    It's all circumstantial. But for the most part, if everything's alright, not too normal. As in, not quite acceptable. Again, all circumstantial.
    You gave a big age gap.

    my dad lived with his mom until he was 60
    then she died
    he never really got a real job, but made a living buying and selling items
    there really is an art to it

    Depends on circumstances. Is he living there because he can't take care of himself, it is he living there to help his mother either with physical upkeep if the property or financially. I know guys at both ends of the spectrum. One lived with mommy until she passed away and now is having a hard time surviving because he never really cared for himself. On the other side, I know a guy who lives with his mother to see she has a place and is taken care of. He actually lived on his own for a while, but in her advanced years has mom moved in so he could help care for her. So this is a yes or no question, depends in circumstances.

    If a man lives with his parents beyond age 30, it is pretty unlikely he is going to find a relationship or even get laid much.

    In the real world though, no one cares about someone else's living situation. People might say "loser" or whatever but it doesn't matter.

      Actually people might not care about your living situation, but those who know you and are a part of your life do. Friends, family, ad persons of interest. This is where the problem is. You definitely won’t be having sex because you have no place to take the female. Chances are she won’t be interested in you for Kong’s once she finds out you have to ask permission for her to spend the night lol

    As long as you have a job and are supporting yourself then I think that's probably fine.

    No, get a job and quit bumming off your mother. Everyone has to at some point. My great aunt literally lived with her dad until she was 56 and it almost destroyed our family. She was married and had a son, and they made such a mess for my great great grandfather. It was really a shame because he was the least abled body in the house, yet all three of them basically just took advantage of his hospitality.

      I agree. The only good reason a grown person should be living with their parent is if they were taking care of an elderly parent. That the only pass a grown person gets. Other than that you should ashamed of yourself.

    My brother is 39 and still lives at my mom's place. He was working in Seychelles ISland for two years, then came back and lived with a woman for another three years and now they are no longer together and he is back home. I dont thinnk that he will ever move out. He will never be able to afford a house and here there is no such thing called apartment. We have only houses and very few rent.

      Well maybe he should move from his environment someplace where they do have apartments for rent. Someplace that is affordable for him. Start his life over and re-evaluate what he wants out life.

        Not sure your age but here is the thing - once we get close to 40, we pretty much give up on ambitions and become complacent.

        It is kind of like when we gave up on big, impossible dreams when we got out of high school, except around 40, even the little, practical dreams are ditched. Usually because achieving one's dreams is too much work and we think, "If it's gonna be that much trouble, then screw that!"

        And at that point, we are happy to just get by.

          I can’t agree with that. I’m over 40. It should be every mans plan to move out of their mothers house if they want independence.

          It starts from parenting. The reason why these men still live with their mothers is because their momma boys and still holding on. Their mother or father never taught them how to be a man and get out into the world. Instead they held on tight to their child as they grew and made excuses for them throughout life.

            Yeah I would think by 40, someone would have their own place. If NOT, perhaps it is a temporary situation of having to go back home. But to have never left?

            What happens when mommy bites the dust?
