@kimmuenchparentcoach: Do you have a sahs? Stay-at-home-son is a term that describes a young male living at home who has opted out of growing up and becoming independent. I am talking with parents who are experiencing this more and more. If you are looking for support to move past this, check out the resources in my bio link. #parentingyoungadults #parentproblems #parentsupport #parenting #modernparenting #stayathomeson #healthyboundaries #MentalHealth
These comments are enraging. I’ve got 3 Gen Z kids. They are being priced out of everything. They pushed thru shooter drills.a never ending pandemic and ongoing economic crisis. I will not be my boomer parent

To me this entire mindset seems to be trying to force 80’s logic onto a real world that no longer exists. It’s literally not possible for a minimum wage kid to go be independent and support themselves like one could in the 80’s and earlier. That world no longer exists.

I noticed that a lot of emerging adults in this situation were hs seniors or college freshman during covid lockdown. Not an excuse, but I feel it may have affected them somehow

society needs to look into why our young men are so full of anxiety

They’ve been rejected by their female peers to the extent that they’ve become completely jaded and they’ve have given up hope of ever connecting with anyone

Part time job rest of time in recliner with lap top. I finally lost it. Yelled “What is your problem, get a life, get out of my house.” We found him an apartment he moved out and he got a second job. Not where I’d like him to be but it’s a start.

I'll bet mom ran the household, dad was missing one way or another, and jr. figured out exactly how to play mom, (and she's terrified to be alone), and this covers all ages

What is the solution? How do we get to the core of this issue? This is very common with Gen Zs. Help!

My brother was like this. He is 50 now. He’s never worked a day in his life, he did do some chores when he was younger. Now my parents are dead and I ended up supporting him. He lives at my parents house but has no income…

My son fit this profile but did go to college. I made him join choir knowing he would make friends and be one of 5 guys and 100 girls. He got a girlfriend and friends in choir, and now is 25 has a good job, in a house and will be married a year in Oct. sometimes you just need to push. I said choir or no more money from us. He said it was the best thing I did or he would have just come home and played video games all his free time.(lived at home in college) Tell them your expectations and demand they start to meet some.it is worth a shot. I get why they are like this too..but maybe a push will help. Good luck!

My son -20 yrs old works full time (not enough to live on his own) buys his own groceries, bought and paid for a used car, does his own laundry, BUT when not working stays in his room. Little social interactions. I don’t know what to do.

I’m done fighting it. My son doesn’t have the ability to do certain things due to autism and anxiety and I’m not trying to fit a square peg in a round hole anymore. If it were 75 years ago he’d be institutionalized so at least this way I get some help around the house and he gets to live in a safe environment.

I think it’s time to re-evaluate the “Real World” and what is has to offer young folks today. Most of American culture relies on these programmed systems for how everyone should live and when kids should launch, etc. Do what works for you and your family and let the experts continue their spouting their programming.

All true, but what do you expect when these young men are taught by society that if tgey try to make any personal gains as males they are impeding female empowerment. Fifth wave feminists see their advancement as a zero sum game. So they give up.

Yes, I have a 26 year old autistic son who has anxiety and depression. He doesn't work, go to school or do much. He does go to therapy but he says it isn't helping. What can I do?

Midlife Lunacy :
We see this happening with our 15 already. He’s a great kid but highly socially anxious so he only feels socially comfortable with his friends online. He doesn’t like school, he’s an all A student but the social aspect makes him a wreck. We have to drag him out to do things. It’s exhausting. When he does go to therapy he’s disengaged and doesn’t think he needs it. My husband gives him general chores or things to do but never outlines specifics or specific consequences and because I’m home more he expects me to be the enforcer for these ambiguous statements and then we end up arguing. It’s exhausting and I feel like we are already setting ourselves up to be doing this forever.

My brother is 49 and is still living with my parents. He’s so incredibly smart but no motivation. My folks allowed it to happen and now they are regretting it.
