I think what is important, when kids move back home, is that there is a real goal in mind, whether it be paying down student loans or saving up for a house or building a business.
There would no way I’d let my kid move back home, if all it meant to him was that he’d have a couple more bucks in his jeans to go out Saturday night.
Well, of course, I’m not talking about freeloaders who want to sit in their underwear all day. I am saying if a child busted his or her hump to go to school, get a job and lost that job due to this rotten economy... I would gladly take mine back. Yes, RULES are important like helping out with the household chores, being responsible, finding a job or getting some education/training etc... but no way would I turn my back on my child.
