Parents Living

An interesting phenomenon, and it's not just in Canada. I currently have my 23-year-old living with me, and if I don't actually "shove" him out of the "nest" I fear he won't ever "launch." Not that I don't enjoy him most of the time, but it just seems odd to me that he seems content with the situation. When I was a teen, I couldn't wait to get out of the house! I have friends with the same situation, kids who went to college and then came home. It seems to fit in with the trend that many young adults are waiting longer to get married and have children.

On the other hand, I'm also currently living with my parents So, I wonder what that says?

I think there are advantages and disadvantages to an adult child living at home. It is cheaper, of course, which I suspect may be a strong reason for the trend. If the parents and adult child get along, the added time spent together can be appreciated. I think it important for both boys and girls to experience living on their own before marriage. There are certain valuable things that can only be learned through the experience of living on your own and being solely responsible for your own welfare. Now that my daughter is 18, however, I'm a little more flexible about it. I don't want her to leave me!

Parents Living

I really don't understand what the problem is. I left my parents house at 15 and I've never had a problem with it since then. The only regret I have is that I miss my mother who lives in arkansas and I struggled hard at first. All in all I believe I made the right choice.
