One woman recently went viral with over 10.8 million views on an X post. But, roommates, her comment section, and replies on the post are a mix of tearing her up and backing her up! Here’s what went down.
X user @rarestofall_ started the frenzy on Feb. 8 after she gave her take on a man living with his parents at 30.
“Telling me you’re moving back in with your parents as a 30-year-old man is idk …,” she shared.
Six hundred eighty-one responses later and over 2,400 quote replies, folks are spilling their own stories of living with their parents. Others are saying they feel where @rarestofall_ is coming from.

Do what works best for you and whatever your current situation is, not for the approval of random people on the internet

Omg. We are all victims of capitalism!!! These days with everyone and their mother getting laid off and having to work two jobs and barely getting by and going into medical debt?? If he’s passionate about a goal and works towards it, that’s enough for me.

-we are one of the only cultures that doesn’t value multigenerational living & looks down on it.. but in this economy we’re going to see much more of it. https://t.co/WEqhJ6oCxd

People in the comments really butt hurt about this! You should not be 30 trying to move back with your parents 🤮 at that age, you should know how to manage money just in case of an emergency or rainy day! pic.twitter.com/GcNuyFzyHk

Parents stop being parents at 30?

Life ain’t a straight line.
If a man’s gotta regroup at base, so be it.
Real strength’s in adapting, not in clinging to pride.
Let’s not pretend we don’t all need a hand sometimes.

Id love in a basic apartment on the outskirts or find a roommate who’s a close friend or relative before moving back home

Even folks who are actually parents weighed in on the topic.
It tells me that the person is fortunate & you should be less judgemental. My 3 adult children know that they can come home if needed. Things happen

My daughter will always have a home to return to, no matter her age

Woman Who Posted Viral Tweet Says She’s Unbothered
Days after shaking the table, @rarestofall_ let folks know she isn’t worried about reactions to her “muted” post. The X think pieces? Write them to “your mama,” her words!
And today, she gave an example of why she’s not here for her man cohabitating with his parents.
“I can’t imagine sneaking into a man’s house at my big age. I will yell “Ma’am your son eating p***y in here!!! *cause who,” she wrote.
She seemed to explain her POV on the subject when she explained that folks should be prepared for the unexpected.
“Certain things should be done by a certain time ( excluding unforeseen circumstances ) if you have ambition. If they were not completed you were not productive.”
“Thank you! things happen & the economy is bad so that would be understandable but to go live back with your parents for free at that big age is crazy,” she wrote.
