These parents had to go to court to get their adult son to move out

Most of us are only too happy to move out of our parents’ house as soon as possible. We want the freedom to put our feet up on the furniture, swear at the television, and leave dirty dishes on the side. Living at home means you’re living under your parents’ roof, which means you have to follow their rules.
By the time most of us are approaching adulthood we’re already keen to break free, but there’s a problem. Housing is super expensive, and we’re lucky if we can afford a measly shoebox-sized apartment. With the cost of moving out so high, many of us are forced to live with our parents for longer than we’d really want to.
It means that instead of starting our new lives in our own homes after college, we end up having to go back to living at mom and dad’s. These parents gave their son a roof over his head, but they had enough and resorted to something desperate to get rid of him as he refused to leave.

Forever home

Life for Michael Rotondo, 30, seemed perfect from a young age. He grew up as part of a middle-class family in Camillus, New York, and had the security of his loving parents to rely on every step of the way. Michael’s parents gave him the support in life to get by, something most parents would do for their kids.

They thought eventually he would fly the nest and make his own way in the world.

College life

Michael got his first taste of freedom from his parents when he went to college. He seemed to enjoy living life on his own terms, and after he finished college, Michael wanted to keep the good times rolling. After college, Michael packed up all of his things and made his own way in the world, leaving the sanctuary of his parents’ home in the rearview mirror.

Most people in this situation would do everything they could to make sure they did not end up back at home. Michael went into the big wide world and realized it wasn’t for him.

Back to mom and dad

When Michael left home, his parents must have thought they wouldn’t have to live with him again. Not that they would have minded, he is their son after all, but when people move out, they don’t tend to return. The world is a scary place, and it seemed as though Michael didn’t appear to enjoy the challenge of keeping his head above water on his own.

Luckily for him, he had two parents who would welcome him back with open arms. When he came back after a short period, Michael’s parents must have thought this would be a temporary arrangement.

Hello again Michael

It might have been a surprise for Michael’s parents to see their son return home with all his belongings, but they let him come back. This wasn’t a case of Michael returning because he missed his parents’ company, he was really struggling to find work.

If you don’t have a job, then there’s a good chance you won’t be able to afford the rent and bills unless you’ve got some trust fund somewhere. Unfortunately for Michael, there was no infinite pool of money for him to use to get by, so he turned to the next best thing, his parents.
