It’s because they can’t afford to get out from under them, or at least can’t do that AND have a decent quality of life. I know a number of people in their 30s who are still living with their parents or are only free of them because they inherited enough to set themselves up in a house. It’s rough out there. Otherwise they are fully functional adults.
Copypaste lol (it just fits really well here too):
Yeah. Also, someone has to take care of these older people.
Like, putting myself as an example, my mom is in his 60s, and has plenty of aches and pains, suffers from spine, carpal tunnel, hip problems, hypotension, stomach sensitivity and can be depressive.
My heart would break if I just abandoned her for the sake of “independency”. That’s not independency, that’s being a fucking asshole.

That’s true as well several of those I mentioned are getting into the situation where they’re having to care for their parents more and more.
