The meme is about pulling up the ladder behind them.

You got a ladder installed and they bolted it to your house.

    Keep moving those goal posts for whatever bewildering reason you have.

    The situation would only be pulling up the ladder if their parents had inherited the house themselves.

    The situation? Are you talking of your house or the meme? The meme is 100% about ladder pulling. You did not get the ladder pulled from under you.

    I don’t have a house, and the meme is not ladder pulling unless there’s more information about the parents in that situation.

    (idiomatic) To prevent others from attaining or benefiting from the same advantages, opportunities, or rights as oneself.
