The Peter Pan Crew

What is it with today’s children specifically the young men?
They never seem to want to leave home.
Apparently the commonly held view is that their parents and possibly step parents are there to be soaked!!

Most of them go off to university or college for years meaning that they enter the adult world? around 26 years of age.
As a result we now have some of the best educated bar men and service staff in the world.
They then proceed to stay at home ,long after they should have flown the nest.
Naturally the parents are dismayed having done their bit by raising the little buggers in the first place.
All sorts of excuses spew from the little darlings mouth, mummy they cry I ‘m broke after paying back my student loan credit card bills, getting wasted on a week end.
Not forgetting acquiring every techno gadget known to mankind
Travelling to far flung corners of the world etc.
The price of housing is extortionate and on and on and on.
Well it seems to me that every generation has it’s challenges to overcome some lived through the great depression, others had to go out and stop Mr Hitler on his European tour of 39 to 45,and so forth.
Just tell the truth you are loath to grow up and don’t as yet realise that the cord has been cut.
The bit the peter pan generation forget is that the parents will now live long enough to be an embarrassment to them, thus getting their own back!
