The didn't make it in the first place because the parents never had ground rules, lacked authority, and let the kid run over them. Now as a 35 year old adult and mostly unemployed, they run over their parents even more who are now less defensible as a senior. It's not until the parent finally puts the foot down and tells them to 'get out', or the law incarcerates them for a length of time, will we see a end to this behavior. Recent case is the 31 year old who while intoxicated (by his own omission) swung his golf cart around in a violate maneuver throwing a 51 year old female out on her head who later died. He now faces DUI vehicular manslaughter. Even with these charges, the parents have him out on bail.

Excellent point. Some of these creeps never left mommies home.
I know one that briefly went into the military, could not cut it and has lived with daddy since, mooching weed money etc.
Another only left home to go to college, where he actually completed several degrees, but was way too pampered and now is a huge financial and emotional burden on his parents.
Several adult woman I know came back to live with parents, both are underemployed with drinking problems.
Most villagers know a few of these misfits and yes the parents are often to blame.
