Опять разница культур. На Западе, если человек старше 20-25 живет с родителями (тем более получает от них деньги) это означает полный социальный неадекват, сопли из носа жрущий, такому человеку ни одна девка не даст. Типа как в России публично признаться в пристрастии к пассивному гомосексуализму. Первый же линк в Гугле на "living with my parents" выдает http://www.thetoque.com/031202/livepare "I still live with my parents," said Rod solemnly. "It's a phrase uttered by a million sad and lonely men, often accompanied by feelings of guilt and shame. Yes, most of us are probably slacking layabouts who are too lazy to cook our own dinners, but at least we're out of the closet--mom's hall closet that is." Rod isn't afraid to talk about it anymore. He no longer regrets not leaving the nest when he was younger, at a time when all his friends were moving into campus dorms, rundown apartments, and semi-condemned warehouse lofts. His decision to stay at home, and save his money for "when he was ready" to strike out on his own was noble. But after a time, the comfort levels rose to such a point where moving out wasn't a feasible option for a man without dependents or a need for independence. It just didn't make sense to venture out into a world of greed and reckless capitalism. "Why move out when everything I need is right here at home?" Sure, Rod has never known the love of a woman, he's never hosted a party, and females shun him because of his "momma's boy" persona, but at least he's able to communicate these challenges to the millions of pitiful men who share the same problem. "Five years ago, I wouldn't have had the courage to talk about my 'situation'," said Bob Daniels, a 35-year-old bachelor from Wisconsin who still lives in the spare bedroom of his parents' suburban home. "But thanks to ISFMWSLWTP I realize I'm not the only middle-aged loser on the planet who has his mother tidy up after him. I take some small comfort in that knowledge. Please kill me."
