It makes perfect sense to me. I’m glad my kids live here. They will leave soon enough. They have rooms and can save money. Apartments are insanely expensive. Jobs are few and far between. My brother lived at home til he was probably 25, then he bought a house. There should be no rush toward living far from the family who loves you. Family is important.

I have 3 in that age range and two are at home. They are 19, 21, and 24, and the two younger ones are college students home for the summer, so we aren't great samples for the survey. The oldest one has been on his own since he graduated college. The next two may need a little transition time after college, which is fine. We've never been big on the "you're 18, get out" mindset. Our kids have always been a blessing, not a burden.

If they weren't progressing toward independence, we'd help them make a plan to do so (with boot to the backside as needed), but they seem like they are on track. If we can smooth the path to success, we will.
