I've heard people who live with their parents proclaim how great it is. They don't have to pay rent or do their own laundry or anything us terrible materialistic people do. It's great for saving money. For reasons that I hope would be obvious I'm not interested in that sort of "lifestyle choice".

This guy is worse because at least people who are mooching off their parents aren't literally stealing from them.

I live with my mom and my sister and do the cleaning, cook daily for our lunch and dinner, sweep and mop the floor, buy groceries, handle bills, etc.

Most of the people that I know that live at home do the same. How exactly are we mooching off our parents?

Maybe there's a trend towards shaming families because families are economic structures which compete with governments and corporations?
What is being stolen?
