Peter Pan Syndrome
You know, 20/30-something guys who just live at mom's, plays video games all days, won't help mom around the house and won't get a job.

What should be done with them?

None of my business. I don't care.
too many nebulous data points there to make any judgements.
That's not what Peter Pan Syndrome means, but whatever.

Simple, parents should grow a pair and kick those parasites out

my mother kicked me out at 19 for my own good and I'm glad she did, and she was a renter so we never really had a home peer say, and she moved every 12 months or so, after getting kicked out of the house at 19 I lived in a bachelor apartment for 5 years, so sick of moving!..

I have lived in the same 1 bedroom apartment for 25 years now and don't see the point of moving especially with 1 bedrooms being $1500 a month here in Ottawa

I live in government subsidised housing and my rent is only one hundred and thirty nine dollars a month, I'm on Canadian Disability for life and since 1993 so far

Who cares, half the population will be out of jobs in five years anyway thanks to AI.

Nothing. Clear out the criminals, drug dealers, tax evaders and corrupt officials first.
lol ive been told i have peter pan syndrome many times. Act like you never want to grow up. Psychs are always telling me this rubbish. Try having D.i.D and not act like a kid from time to time.

I am not like that myself but people that are disgusts me. I was chasing a woman for years beautiful but then learnt she lived with her parents she is my age take 2 months. She gets them to cook, clean, drive her about etc and her parents are both very ill and still she throws tantrums. What got me they rent their house from council and she thinks if they die she will get the place - she wont dont work that way and the property has a min age tenancy think its 55. Has no intention of living on her own money, i lost the chubby pretty fast after learning that.
Well, someone sounds jealous.
Think they would kill each other for steam points? I wonder.. put em in an arena
What should we do with them? We shouldn't focus on them.

We should be fixing the society they live in. With how awful and depressing ♥♥♥♥ has gotten, who can blame them for just giving up.

According to google's AI (take this with a grain of salt):

"an informal psychological term for individuals who avoid adult responsibilities and fear aging, preferring a carefree, childlike state."

...Personally I would call them as man children but that term is subjective due to what and what counts as maturity and immaturity...

And the fact that it's always of course... it's because of how a person's environment they grew up in explains their behavior now.

I think the OP is talking something like Neets... but worse.
Cause there are many worse things you can do to yourself and one of them is believing that you don't have to do anything in life due to having everything being given to you.

Cause a Neet will know they will eventually have to do something in their lives otherwise they'll... Won't have any reason to live.

The people the OP is talking about are worse.
Cause they say ignorance is bliss... but reality hits harder for those who are.
Cause why face reality when you can live in your own version of it?
Because to me that sounds like a Neverland.
