This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Again, assuming this has any basis in reality, I think it's likely that the parents have made many attempts to get the guy to change before and this is the last resort. They probably didn't wait 38 years and then one day just decided "this is it".

yeah, this is likely more a case of fighting/ignoring mom and dad and them finally bringing down the banhammer.

or maybe mom and dad want to fucking retire... god forbid! since if he is 38 they are most likely 65+

in that case you arrange for a bachelor apartment for the guy. hes a human being after all.

The dude is 38 and never got off his ass. How long are you going to enable this? They already did for two decades.

His parents are almost certainly 65+ and cannot afford to support themselves and a leech.
