If they are raised right, there will be no need to *kick them out*.

My youngest was back hat home for a brief stint after a job didn’t work out, but she got a part time one and pursued further education and is no in grad school and looking at a PhD.

Sometimes they need a hand up and kicking them out is not always the loving or necessary thing to do.

BTW, I lived at home until I got married at 30. I had a full time, good paying job, paid room and board, helped around the house, did my own laundry, owned my own car, traveled and had my own social life.

Home was a place to sleep and eat.

Living at home is not necessarily due to anything but convenience. I had a good relationship and understanding with my parents and it worked for us.

Nothing wrong with living at home if you have a happy family and are welcomed. This idea of the nuclear family is less than a century old. During the Depression, grandparents, parents and adult children lived under one roof - sometimes happily, sometimes miserably. But they survived. I don’t get this dislike of adult children living at home if they have jobs and are decent, mature people. My next door neighbors have such a family and they seem happier than clams.
