Season 18 · Episode 159 46-Year-Old Moocher Dad Sleeping in a Bunk Bed May 4, 2020 · 1h
Recorded before stay-at-home order. Kelly says she is concerned her father, Shade, allowed her ex-husband, Allen, to move into his home after their divorce. Now, Allen has found his way into Kelly's childhood bedroom, where he has been living for the past 5 ½ years, sleeping at night in a bunk bed and claiming to look for jobs in the daytime. Kelly says she wants her dad to confront Allen and make him get out! Kelly says Allen cannot start being an active father to their two children, Dylan and Lilli, until he becomes more independent, and their children agree. But Allen says the family has it all wrong, because he believes he and Shade are happily living together in their “bachelor pad.”
