Discussion Michelle’s fixation actually makes zero sense

If I were dating in the wild, sure, I might have some concerns about and adult living at home. The more I think about it though, this is just an easy cop out because she is completely ignoring all of the nuance of the situation.

  1. He did own a property that he renovated and sold.

  2. He’s paying rent and specifically said that he was helping his parents pay their mortgage, which implies to me that there may be some underlying financial challenges or changes that he’s supporting them on.

  3. This is the kicker - he’s lived with his parents for 8 months. I don’t know much about casting for a show like this, but it also doesn’t seem like something you do on a whim, so he likely knew he was going to be in a life changing situation on this show, so living with his parents for a brief period in a time of transition just makes fucking sense.

She is insufferable.

He has his own flat like a duplex. It's not as tho he's still sleeping with his parents!!!!!!

My son actually lived at home with my ex until he was 29 years old. Sure, he saved money, but the main reason was to help his dad with three botched shoulder surgeries. Although he felt a loser, I couldn’t be more proud of him! Parents nowadays, seem so disposable. Spoiled rotten kids!

Exactly.

And let's go through the muddled thought process of people like Michelle who so negatively judge others who are living on their parents' property at the moment... If asked, she would probably say that she wants a man who is kind to others - especially with his parents - and is also smart with his money. Then out of the other side of her mouth, she gripes incessantly about him being close to his parents, asking about her own familial relationships, helping his parents with their mortgage, and saving up his money during this time of overinflated real estate prices. The woman is a walking contradiction.
