I haven't got two doctorates, but I certainly got to where I wanted to
go. And once I left, I never went back.
Which is something that ticks me off about these younger generations and
the fact that they want a revolving door on their parents home so that
they can run back then whenever the real world gets too hard for them.
They 'grow up' with the attitude of never having to try real hard at
anything, because there's always an 'out', an escape clause.
Having said that, I know of several 40odd year olds still living at home
with the parents.

There was actually a case in California where a guy around
45 or 50 years old successfully sued his parents for financial
support, because the law was written in such a way that the
parents' obligation to support their kids didn't necessarily
end at age 18.
I may be able to dig up the link if anyone is interested.

Not that I need it or would even think of doing it, but both of my parents
have passed on, my dad in 1990 and my mom in 1998.

I thought that happened in Italy, where it isn't uncommon for kids to
live at home until marriage because of higher housing costs, etc?
The man was in his 30's I believe?

Our eldest sone is 30 and lives with us. However, he has two boys (8 &
9). Their mother took to drugs and turned into a lunatic (I always
reckoned she was anyway) and has had nothing to do with them since the
eldest was 2.
Having them with us just works better for the children and allows
their father to have some kind of a life beyond just working and
looking after children. Anyway, they are MY children now ;-)

If you're OK with it, that's all well and good. Most parents are put into a
corner over it, and feel obligated to take their adult children back in
with them.

It's a nice enough place (I actually considered living there!!) but it's
on the other side of the world to the rest of Oz.
And besides which....... it's full of Poms and runaway Rhodesians.

LOL!! Do what I did. Open the door semi-naked, covered in blood, holding
a sharp knife and say "Come in, come in!! We're just performing a
sacrifice out the back, you're more than welcome to come and watch!!"
They never came back after that...... don't know why!!
(I was butchering a rather large and very fresh hunk of meat in the
kitchen. Rather bloody work it was too.)
