“...returning to normal behavior...”
Sadly I doubt this. Anecdotal: of my daughter’s early 20’s something friends who returned home, many do sit around and watch netflix and (especially the males) play video games endlessly.
These are the offspring of successful parents, usually, and many went to college.
Luckily our daughters did not move home and made the push to be independent - but the trend within their peer cohort is there and not healthy.
“These are the offspring of successful parents, usually, and many went to college.”
I have noticed that my son’s friends who went to college mostly moved back in with their parents.
Sadly, most of those college “educated” are now 30 or older and STILL living with mom and dad and some of them have married and have kids.
The majority who went to work straight out of HS moved out on their own by the time they were 23.
They are much better off financially than their college educated peers.
