My question is about the parents. Ain't nobody living in my house for 10 years without me knowing about it.
This whole thing about grown children living with their parents and having "private" rooms is a bunch of crap. You want privacy? Move out and get your own place. You live in my house and I will visit every room.
Not always. Friend of mine is divorced, has 3 children & lives with her elderly mom. Very nice, large home but too much & too expensive for a widowed, elderly, tiny & somewhat frail woman to maintain on her own. The kids have a great relationship with their grandmother and the daughter with her mother.
