August 3rd, 2007 by Dan GaffneyThe story of a 36 year old Delaware man being accused of trying to lure 12 year old kids to his place for sex is certainly disturbing, but I couldn’t help notice this little tidbit in the News Journal story:Â
Â
A 36-year-old Delaware man who lived with his parents and posed as a 15-year-old boy online has admitted in federal court to attempting to lure a 12-year-old girl to Delaware to have sex with him. William Edward Wilson of Dover pleaded guilty Monday in U.S. District Court in Alexandria, Va., to coercion of a minor and receiving child pornography over the Internet.Â
He is 36 and still living in Mom and Dads basement? That should have been a red flag alert that something is wrong. Right? I mean at what age does it become socially unacceptable for men to live at home with mommy? (Maybe Mike Matthews can tell us). Of course I am not talking about disability or unique caregiver arrangements. I speaking of able bodied men who don’t strike out on their own and leech off the parents forever. I left home at 17, but I’m inclined to give a pass to guys until about age 26, but I still raise an eyebrow.Â

[...] Dan Gaffney makes a funny! Downstate radio hack Dan Gaffney has lots more time on his hands now that experienced jockey Randy Nelson has resigned from the station. ……… So he’s spending time blogging and making fun of yours truly in a generally funny piece on the dangers of 36-year old men who still live at home with their parents.

People over 30 who still live at home are VERY scary people. They fantasize about Princess Leia, travel to Newcomerstown, Ohio, to attend Bigfoot conferences (they REALLY have those there !!!), and spend all their time they could spend productively at work looking through their telescopes.
Parents, beware the “one, please”er…

I’m just wondering at what age does it become unacceptable for women to live at home?
Curiosity aside, when I came here I found it very strange to learn adult children actually left home while still single…finding their own place, being or havig roomates to share etc. Most Europeans expected, were expected, to live at home until they married. If they didn’t marry they never left but remained where they had all the amenties but contributed to the household expenses, chores and expected to be gainfully employed. To leave raised eyebrows. We already know people mentioned above would surely be no different where, how or with whom they lived. What too many parents worry about, these days, are the kids who have babies THEN leave home…leaving grandparents to raise their children.
