My ex husband lived at home once he had graduated and was working as an accountant. He made as much money as I did and I made it fine financially, so he could have also. He paid nothing to his parents and was waited on hand and foot. He would call his mother on the phone (from his own line upstairs) and order breakfast and it would be ready when he was out of the shower and dressed. When we got married, he had never lived on a budget (which was absolutely necessary when we bought our house), he had never cooked anything except fried eggs and toast, he had never worked a washer or dryer. We split up housekeeping duties and he volunteered to clean one of the bathrooms that he used (I wouldn't go in there!). After about 2 years, he told me we needed a new toilet. I asked what was wrong with it (planning on fixing it) and he told me it was all brown inside. I suggested he clean it.... with bleach. I had to teach him how to cook so I could divorce him and not worry about the kids eating when they were with him.
His parents did him no favors in allowing him to sponge off of them for so long.
