I do not have kids. But I used to be
one. And one thing that I know was that I wanted to move away from my
parents as soon as I could. Did I try hard? No. I should have gotten
a job in junior high and/or high school. I should have made a plan.
But I didn't. I planned on vanishing after school and just wandering
the planet until I landed in Japan. Thankfully when I was 18 I got a
job and was able to move into my ex's home with her family and after
being booted with no backup place to live I got the place I've been
living in for 19 years now. But while living with my ex and her
family I cleaned every day, took out trash, helped with laundry,
cleaned litter boxes, walked the dog, and other things. I offered to
pay rent but that was turned down. I have been super unemployed with
only thirty-five cents to my name at one point in time. I'm saying all this to
say that shit can get rough. I don't have a family that can
throw thousands of dollars at me to dig me out of a hole and I'll be
damned if I ever move back in with them.
30 year old Michael Rotondo does not
feel the same way as me.
About eight years ago he lived in his
own place for a year and a half and during that time he used his
penis irresponsibly and helped create a human. He ended up losing his
job and moved back in with his parents. Understandable. He was
previously working at Best Buy but quit after refusing to work
Saturdays because that is when he'd get to see his kid. He also sued
for discrimination. Of course he did not win. He also went to
community college to study engineering but quit when he “couldn't
hack the math.” There is a term being tossed around called “failure
to launch syndrome” that is running wild like Hulkamania for a
number of different reasons.
