FWIW, I think the article was right when it said you had to look at what the child is doing that is still living at home. Is he productive, or a lazy slob.

But on the other hand, in my experience, I have two children that are both married (24-21), living in their own homes, that BTW they OWN, (I'm not proud or anything:) watching thier friends, alot of these kids are productive living at home, BUT, I don't see alot of what the article says is repect for their parents, or wanting to hang with them. For most of these kids living at home, even while they are being productive, they just come and go as they please, very seldom to never including their parents in their activities. In fact most of them landed up hanging out over at our house.

As far as the old adage of "childern being seen and not heard," I think we should go back to it. When watching news cast, and they get some kid on their to voice their opinion on something, 99 X out of 100, I find myself feeling embarassed by thier idiotic opinions and always wonder why the news casters interview these kids who don't have the life experience to form an educated response. They need to be quiet and learn from their elders. Not that there are actually too many elders out there that are any more intelligent then them:)

If I may be so bold, HTH did they swing such a financial feat at such tender ages?
