Some are coming back only to find out that their parents sold the house and are now on a world cruise.

Or have sold the house and downsized so much there is no extra room.... don’t tell our kids, but that’s what we’re gonna do ;O)... j/k

And on THAT note, picked up our Airman yesterday from the airport (the one who’s been in Iraq) - oh it is so good to see him!!!! Has to go back to Jersey on Friday, but that’s ok, we have him for the week (yep, happy Mom moment)

I think that this is their generations “Carter Moment”. I remember everyone on my high school was extremely pro Carter, he got a huge percentage of the youth vote. Shortly after we also learned about how important is was to really find out about your candidate before jumping on any bandwagon. That descision haunts me to this day...that is why I didn’t vote Obama.

And some met their parents on the road who asked if they could come live with their kids because their 401k's and home equity were destroyed and they can't afford to retire.

I have all three adult kids back living at my house, including a grandson. I also have an aged father-in-law living with me. He's been living in my house since 1986.

I don't know what the point of the article was, but that's what families do. They help out when help is needed so they don't end up on welfare, in government housing, living off food stamps and (un)earned income credits, while receiving government sponsored child care and free post-high school education/training.
