parents who let their adult children move back in after age 18 are crazy (exception if kids are really studying at a local collge and majoring in something USEFUL that they can support themselves with when they graduate)
this is only hurting your kids, keeping them infantile
it may seem a nice helpful thing to do but it is
very, very bad parenting!
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Unfortunately our thinking is now in the minority.
Fantastic! Thanks
Yes. And we see the vast hoardes of immature, unproductive, unskilled, mostly unhappy, and certainly unaccomplished — ( who unfortunately also vote for more and more unearned and unjustified “benefits”).
I dearly love my parents and my in-laws. Moving back in? No way. Spending a weekend there is enough to remind me that I’m where I’m supposed to be, lol. Now if they needed my help that’s different, but as long as they don’t our current situation is just fine.
Wow. I couldn’t wait to grow up and get my own place. I don’t get this mentality.

Not my kids...but then, of course, they were taught phonics and math WITHOUT a calculator, long before the schools ever got their creepy hands on them - and by then it was too late, they were too far ahead for the schools to damage.
Yeah, he’s always been this way
There’s no teaching him. We have a small horse farm and both his mom and me have regular jobs as well. His chores are simple and haven’t changed in years. I can show him, and have shown him, hundreds of times how to do them quicker and more efficiently but within 2 days he’s doing them the hard way and half-assed at that.
Hopefully one day he'll manage to grow up, until then, you need to keep on trying to show him the error of his ways.
