Wait. I think I saw that movie. “Failure To Launch”, co-starring the greatest quarterback in NFL history, Terry Bradshaw. IIRC, the parent’s plan didn’t work too well there, either.

the greatest quarterback in NFL history, Terry Bradshaw.

You are joking, right? He wasn't even the greatest quarterback of his era.

“the greatest quarterback in NFL history”

Was Tom Brady in this movie?

I went one step further. When my two adult children got an apartment together (one year lease), we sold our home and moved 200 miles away.

They "launched" pretty quickly after that!

I'm actually proud of the both of them, today they both have careers and have purchased their own homes. They are completely on their own financially. But I'm pretty sure that if my wife and I did not move, one or two of them would have come back to live with us once their apartment lease was up.

Grown children living with their parents is rarely a good thing. For example, when they lived with us, every flat tire on their car was an emergency that we had to deal with. It is so easy to rely on parents when you are living under their roof. When you are truly on your own, that is when you really learn to deal with life situations that come up.

As far as parents hiring dating coaches for their grown children, that's got to be demeaning and patronizing to them.

“ co-starring the greatest quarterback in NFL history,”

I didn’t know Brock Purdy was in a movie?
