People without jobs, who live off of mommy and daddy and pretend that they are so tortured and that life is such pure hell for them! I mean I haven't been supported by my parents since I was 14 except for one 2 week period when I was 16, other than that it has been all me.
This dude that lives with the woman that I take care of is 37. He apparently is recovering from drug addiction. He talkes about using all the time but he is on probation. He bullies and verbally abuses his mother, he has no friends, no job, no motivation. In fact he stays in his room most of the time Aonked out on painkillers and sleeps 10-20 hours a day. The only contribution he makes to this household is stress and to make things harder around here. And he is always crying about how hellish living with mommy who gives him everything and supports him without requiring him to lift a finger around the house or to go get a job, is for him. I hate people like this!

I understand why someone like this upsets you because you are a hard worker. But part of why this guy is the way he is is because no one has ever made him stand up to become responsible for himself. His mother should refuse to support him any longer. If he doesn't get a job , help with bills, and such then he is kicked out. As long as she allows him to behave this way he isn't motivate to doing anything with his life. What will happen to him when his mother passes away? Does he have someone else to go leach off of?

"But part of why this guy is the way he is is because no one has ever made him stand up to become responsible for himself"
Yea thats true...my brother is 40 yrs old and though he owns and lives in his own house, my mother (when he's not dating someone) does his laundry, he STILL everyday goes and showers at her house, he doesnt know how to cook or clean which is absolutely absurd (my neice taught him how to make grilled cheese sandwiches for the first time a yr or so ago..hell he cant even cook pasta!!)....Why does he get away with it? Cause ppl let him! including his women and my mother!! pathetic if you ask me....My 12 yr old daughter and my son can both cook (a full meal), do laundry, sew, they know how to clean and the whole nine yards and have for a few yrs now!...How is it a 40 yr old man is ok with the fact that his neice, nephew and own daughter are more self sufficent then he is??
boggles my mind!

I can relate and I totally agree with you! I've been on my own since getting kicked out at 13yrs old and I've struggled BUT I pulled it off..so to see a grown man or woman acting like a total slacker just disgusts me to no end! If a 13-14 yr old kid can manage to survive on the streets and raise themselves AND turn out to be a respectable hard working adult then why is it an already grown person doesnt have the abilty to..AND how can ppl like that look in the mirror and be okay with what they see and who they are???
"And he is always crying about how hellish living with mommy who gives him everything and supports him without requiring him to lift a finger around the house or to go get a job, is for him"
pfft what a drama queen!! If its so damn horrible, get off your rump, pack up and move the hell out!!

We meet a lot of different people in life with different personalities. This dude that you were talking about grows up in an environment where most people don't understand. It might be because of several factors and one of these factors is how he is being spoiled my his mom.
But I personally believe that it's kinda flattering if someone spoils us but if it's already too much, here goes the problem.
Both the guy and his mom are ought to be blamed for what happened i think. It's because I see that his mom spoils him a lot and the guy allowed his mom to do that to him...........

I think that person really needs some more attention not coz' they are lazy and confused about his life but coz' they are missing some more love and support from someone who really matters to him the most. I too have one such kind of person near my neighbourhood who is much like same as him. But when he finds his true love the person has changed now they are married and are leading a peaceful and happy life...

but you help out around the house and with the family which makes it completely different IMO....Its not like you are just sitting around doing nothing AND complaining about how horrible your life is ya know...You may not be helping out finacially but you help out in other ways which IMO is just as good really

yeah he sure sounds like a mess ans all this is due to the fact that his parents still stick up to whatever he does and this gives him the courage and whatever he needs to behave this way.Too bas cuz you gotta be blaming the parents not that he innocent but letting such bully to rot.
I'm 21 and i live with my parents and i dint think its wrong.I'd be finishing my college this may and then after i gotta be hunting a job.I have to depend on my parents till then cuz i got none depend on.Moreover I'm doing my engineering and this costs hell.I cant pull this all by myself.

Hate is a pretty strong word to use. I don't think you really hate people like that. You probably just have no respect for people with no job ethics. Maybe he has no ethics at all. As long as his Mom and Dad are going to keep supporting him he is going to keep on doing this. So they are enabling him and are as much to blame as anyone. There are all types of people in this world unfortunately some of them are not nice people. Don't let it get to you.

Hate is a strong word and I think that one reason that people end up like this is because of the fact many people are falsely led to believe that they should have everything else that someone else has without working for it.
This is what is called an intitlement mentality.
And when this has gone on in someone's life for many years it can be very hard for them to change.
And this is why that I think that even if someone is one public assistance of any kind they should have to do some sort of work, even if it is nothing more than reading to people who can not read. Or maybe even talking to others or something.
And I think that unless that someone has a provable need for medication that most medicines are over rated, and if someone needs so much medicines especially for things like depression, then they need to be in a special care place until they don't need so much medicine.
I don't mean everyone I mean just people who do not have any goals or anything, and while in a special place they should be taught some kind of skill or trade, because even someone who makes baskets can sell these for a profit and make a way to live. In my opinion.
And it does get on my nerves when I see people taking so many things in life for granted when they could be doing something like making their life easier.
I don't hate people like this but I think that they need to be made to know that if they will not work then they won't eat. And by work I mean I think that they need to be doing something. Within their ability.
I know too many people who are really disabled and they have found a way to work. Including a lady that is can not move any part of her body from the neck down due to an accident as a teenager,
She is a motivational speaker.
Most everyone can do something it is my opinion.

It's people like him who are the reason there is so much violence in the world. People like him that could be the reason for mass murders.

yep. there are lots of people who are like that. instead of being thankful, they even feel like the world is againsts them. they blame other people and circumstances why they are like that. they are the people who gives life a bad name.

Yes your right. However, mother is always a mother who ca not take to make their childrens burden.
Like you I never experienced also those things. Because I was left with my parents when I was at the age of two years old up to the present.
Since, he is bond with that condition may be the only things that we can help is to tell him the wrong things that he had. And eventually motivating him most of the time in a right way of approaching him. Sooner or later he will realize and start to make himself a productive one.

That deffinately does sound frustrating. I hate people who complain about their life when they have it all. I have a friend who tries to compare her life to mine all the time. I was talking bout how i was broke and she agreed that she was and how she expected her parents to pay for stuff for her (they're rich) but my parents cant afford to randomly give me money unless its important. If i couldnt hang out with my boyriend one day a week ill say something and shell be like I couldnt hang out with mine today:( even tho she hung out with him 3 consecutive days before that..
Some people just take everything for granted. They need a rude awakening.

I have been suportign myself since i was 14 and paying rent to them while i went to school there is no reason for a growen person to be supprted by there parents at that age i cannot understand that. If it were me i would be busting my A$$around the palce tryign to earn my keep adn to make things easier for them. But i guess this goes back to spare the rod adn spoil the child.
