Sounds like a common lib with a govt job and pity dripping out of her...ear.
Families sticking together in hard times wasn't always a bad thing.
Lots of boomers didn't get around to having kids until their 30s or even later. These parents might actually benefit from having a younger adult on the premises. In some cases, it's that or cash in the assets and head for Shady Pines. In some cases, it's pay the lawn guy, the grocery delivery, the taxi, the laundry...all the home repairmen...the snow shoveler...get the picture?
Most of the parents I know with boomerangs are thrilled to have them back home with them.
Parents should NEVER let their 20-something college graduates back in the house.
Never.
Well my son and his wife have decided their children can live with them as long as they want to. Doing so is an excelleant way for them to put away monies for the time when they do decide to launch out on their own.
I know of families where the sons have remained at home even with excellant paying jobs...again a great way to secure you kids for when they do step out. There are many advantages for both the parents and the kids.
We are the only country that kicks our kids out once they graduate.
