Man child arguing with parents

Four or five middle aged blokes upset that I’ve completely tucked them across multiple threads
It’s sad but I don’t think about them at all

Do they all still live with their mum? I haven't read the context - what are they stamping their feet about?

Work harder. I've worked 40hrs + for almost thirty years. There's loads of jobs.
Are you a fat woman in your 50s called Janice, whose fella on the rigs pays all the bills? No, you're a bloke. Knock the part time shite on the head and start grafting while your body allows it.

Dyspraxia imnsure he has mentioned before and I think some other issues
Tbf someone tagged @ShieldsBlackCat2015 into the thread and others started questioning him on his choice, it’s not like he came in himself and started moaning about his situation.
Possibly the worst time for someone to think of moving out given interest rates. £15k could be a half decent deposit once things settle.

If you can do thirty hours you can do forty hours. If you're getting up and going to work anyway, it may as well be worth your while.

I’ve always believed it’s better to have your own place even if you spend every last penny on it. I’d much rather be sat in my own house on a Friday/Saturday night just watching telly than spunking a ton on a night out just to roll back to my bedroom at my parents house.

Shite in a bucket @StripedPaddyShould’ve stuck in at school!
It seems to me you’ve got two simple choices in life. You can stay where you are working the tills at ten quid an hour and I suppose a small chance of moving up the retail management ladder, continue being mad at the world with your lot in life and continue living with Mammy and Daddy until their time is up and you get your inheritance one day.
Or you can take some control of your life. We are constantly hearing about a shortage of certain occupations. Get yourself back to college and learn a trade like plumber or electrician or carpenter. You could be living in a gaff which a kitchen island, bifold doors and a Juliet balcony, shitting in a bucket and buying ten grand rolexes and driving an AMG. Or be a nurse or a teacher where you won’t make millions but will never have to worry about being laid off and could afford that Fiat 500 you covet. A lot of people don’t have the option to retrain as they have to stay working in a low paying job to keep their family together but as you’re sucking off the family teat then you should use that opportunity to your advantage while you can.

Remember a mate being over the moon because his son who’d outstayed his welcome said he was buying a flat. When asked when he was moving out he said what you on about its to rent out

Ah fair enough then if he can't actually work as much.
At least he is working as you get others who would just milk the benefits.
Fair play to the lad
I'm not sure what his illness is but you never know the 30 hours could be a push.

What was the end situation with thatRemember a mate being over the moon because his son who’d outstayed his welcome said he was buying a flat. When asked when he was moving out he said what you on about its to rent out
Come back to see his bags packed or pay for a van to drop it all off at the newly acquired flat?
