Why do so many people suddenly think it's acceptable to continue to live with their parents into adulthood?

Fast forward to me, my husband (now ex) and son moving to Florida in 2001, where I asked my mom to move with us. It took her a few months to wrap up her life in California, but she arrived 3 months after we did, bringing my adult brother with her. We all lived together in a big house and things were great.

Me and my mother - cheers!

My viewpoint is I’d have to have a roommate if I moved out on my own anyways. Rent in my state is rather high and my income would barely cover a months rent and utilities on top of my already standing bills. There’s just no way I could afford to live alone, and why would I roll the dice hoping for a decent roommate when I already know my mother’s habits (as well as my brother’s) and I know I can rely on them. Why would I put myself in the position of someone not paying their portion leaving me stuck to foot their bill, too? Or eating my food? Or using my stuff?

Why do people have trouble accepting the very true fact that "The Blue Marble" photo of Earth is a composite and therefore (just like every other subsequent "picture" of Earth NASA has ever shown us) not a real photo but computer generated?

I honestly don’t care what people have to say about me living with my mom and brother. These 2 people have always been there for me, and unless you’re willing to pay my bills, there’s nothing more to be said.

After I graduated high school, my mother moved out of the apartment she rented leaving me to pay the rent and moved almost 2 hours away from our hometown. I didn’t see her except for Christmas for several years after that. I had 2 friends move in to help cover costs, so it wasn’t too much of a burden on me. Unfortunately, one roommate was always late with her share.

Why is it not acceptable?

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

The end of 2011, beginning of 2012 I became divorced and was losing everything, including my home. My mom and brother moved out not wanting to be in the middle of my messy divorce. It’s a very long story as to why I didn’t get anything from the divorce except my personal belongings like clothes and make-up, but we won’t get into that right now. Just know that the divorce literally took everything I had, including my job. I was left with only heartache. The only place to go was to my mother’s where she and my brother had rented an apartment, and though it only has 2 bedrooms, we made it work, and we still continue to make it work.
