from the same litter

When my siblings and I turned eighteen at our respective times, we each moved out of out my mother’s house. We were legal under the eyes of the New York State law so we took it upon ourselves and our new found independence to take a hold of our lives. We’ve all managed to survive and live independently on our own. None of us have returned to the nest. We are more or less happy with our respective lives and our freedom. We’re adults and know that as such we have to do these adult things such as rent or own our own apartment, buy furnishings, start families, etc. Yet I don’t fully comprehend how I end up dating guys that live with their mothers or grandparents. Seriously! Out of the guys I’ve dated about 70% of them were still living at home with mommy. I don’t get it. My siblings and I got the memo: get out! We heard the message loud and clear. So why are these blokes still living at home? Why am I bringing this up? Well I met a rather attractive guy about three weeks ago who seemed promising. We were hot and heavy the night we met. We continued the flirtation. Everything seemed to be going fine- of course, my mind had the best of me and I swore he was married with kids. So because I have such inquisitive mind, I kept trying to pry his life out of him. I knew something was off. It had to be. Yeah he was rather on the short side but that’s not why he was single, was it? I swore it was the wife and kids. So…. Last night I figured out why. He still lives at home with mommy! Yeah that’s why you are SO single mister. He’s 39! 39! At that age you should be living by yourself if not with roommates at least, not living with mommy. Yeah I know…perhaps the economy made him go back to live with mommy but I so doubt that’s the case. Ha. This is my beautiful luck. Seriously how do I attract these people? It may seem all shallow but it really isn’t. At age 39 you should be living either alone or with roommates. Ugh! I’m not shallow but if I can do it so can you. SO CAN YOU!
