Not mine—my kids are 26, 24, 20, and 17 and only the 17 year old lives with me. And she won’t once she turns 18, except during summers/college breaks.
But I do know many parents love living with their adult kids—not me! I enjoy their company, but I love their independence.
My son still lives at home, but he bought a house to fix up a year ago and expects to be done this summer.
My youngest daughter lives with her in laws. Their rent was going up dramatically when their lease renewed and she said nope and moved in with her hub’s parents. They hope to buy a house this coming year. She works in banking and has all her ducks in a row and is just biding her time for the market correction.
My other two live independently, have stem degrees and good jobs.
I laughed at the headline because it’s perfectly accurate. But I don’t see it as a negative social metric, even if it’s a negative economic metric.
It’s great that so many young people have families that they can count on. It’s better than the alternative.
Hmmm Hubby’s last kid of 3 turned 20 today. No idea if he is living with Mommy or not but we still have another year of “child” support (goes to 21 here in NYS but they can vote at 18, 19, 20.)
