I have seen in many US shows where they portray guys who are living with parents as losers, or there are jokes or memes about it, I never get it.

    The idea that if you’re still living at home that your parents are still taking care of you. That they still make your food, do you laundry, pay your bills, etc. there is also a stereotype that you’re emotionally stunted since you haven’t moved out and had to take care of yourself. This is often summarized in the neck beard living in his parents basement meme.

    I’m not saying this is true, but that’s the idea.
