Yeah, I can think of three just off the top of my head, that live close by.
One boy, 18 years old. He's been living at home since graduating from high school, some mild nagging to look for a job, but in any case no real pressure, the parents give lots of resources, to the point of funding all kinds of special meals, nice clothes, etc.
His 21 year old brother is similar, but the parents have actually been funding an apartment for him. He hasn't been to college nor had a job, ever. I think for the past couple years he's supposedly been working with some friends on a video game, and that enterprise fell apart recently. A girlfriend that (according to the mom) was attracted to him because his parents were funding everything, just left him.
Another young man, probably 22, graduated from a fairly highly ranked college. He's been living at home for 8 months now, no job, doesn't seem to be looking. I think his degree was in chemistry. Anyway, his degree seemed like it something that was reasonable in terms of job prospects, not underwater basket weaving or anything like that.
I think a part of it is that some parents don't have much of a social life. And so if the kids are halfway pleasant to be around, they don't necessarily push them to go live on their own.
