Staying with your parents just because you're broke, fired, got kicked out of your own place etc etc .... is quite leech-sounding to me, even though, depending on the circumstances, it may be that the person doesn't have a choice other than to be a leech, or that his parents don't mind being a leech-suckee.
Yeah, well, wouldn't it be up to the parents to decide if we're being Leechey or not?

I mean, they created us, and they've had more time to accumulate wealth than us, so if it's no inconvenience to them, why wouldn't they put up with us?
