Why does BJ Penn still live with his mom at 46

[Ivancho]

Why does BJ Penn still live with his mom? I don't want to sound like a dick, but it seems strange at 46 years old. After his career, I imagine he made a decent amount of money. I understand he had a wife and kids as well. Does anyone know more about his story? His situation seems strange but sad at the same time.

 

[Humongo]

It just hit me: if he thinks his mom is another person he can fuck her without guilt

Sometimes you have someone at home who desperately needs round the clock care and support for health reasons. In this case, it's BJ.

On a more serious note, the idea that people should all have their own houses outside of family, or hell even just the "nuclear" family is a pretty singular and recent idea. Lots of cultures are much more familial based

 

[Bobby00]

Only in the west people consider it weird to live with your family. If anything that view is weird. As long as you get along with your family and do your part there is nothing wrong with it.

 

[dildos]

That is not his mom.

 

[Thepaintbucket]

Well he's certifiably crazy so I imagine he hasn't made the best decisions over the past 10 years.

Plus whatever millions he made can be quickly depleted in a place like Hawaii

Here, it's very common for people in their 30s to still live with their parents. Many even build on the same land as their parents' house since average incomes are very low. BJ Penn's situation caught my attention because he's American, and I know this isn't common in their culture.

How do you know he does? Does he explicitly state that in the video? As far as I remember he it just had some clips of her doing daily activities, he could simply be visiting.

Hawaiian's different, I think, what with the Polynesian

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

He's living in a government simulation.

 

[Shane-O-Mac]

I don't blame him in this economy

 

[Serge421]

Because he's mentally handicapped

 

[TimeToTrain]

I wouldn’t mind my children living with me in their 40, 50s, 60s. Life is short.

I wonder why a paranoid schizophrenic with brain damage is living with his mom as a caretaker, very puzzling indeed.

 

[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Who says he lives with his mom? , Penn has like 4 homes, he's crazy rich even before fighting.

 

[nonoob]

So mom can claim him as her handicapped caretaker tax exemption ?

 

[Sonny Qc]

In most part of the world, living with your parents is common...

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Different culture, hard to judge.

Fucking noobs thinking BJ is poor. He doesn't need to fight in the first place.
