Expecting dad asks his 38-year-old stepmom if he and his girlfriend can move into her unfinished basement for the first 3 years of their baby's life so they don't have to pay rent and she can babysit: 'I laughed'

There are so many people who are totally comfortable mooching off their families for the whole of their days. I'm not even talking about rich kids who move to NYC, live a lavish lifestyle, and get their rent paid by their parents. At least those people don't bring their financial ineptitude and drama into their parents' houses. I'm talking about the breed of adult who moves into their parents' house during adulthood and never leaves. They don't pay rent, they don't do things around the house, they don't change a lightbulb; they have kids and get married and expect their aging family members to maneuver their lives around that, despite the fact that it was the aging family member's house to begin with. A lot of adult children can get away with this because they've proven time and time again that they're not responsible enough to actually take care of themselves, so their parents just deal with it because it's better than knowing your kid is living on the streets.
