Grown children need to be taught to live on their own as early as possible. Parents aren't going to live forever and their adult children will be helpless without them. Keeping them under roof and under your watch makes invalids of them for which they will eventually suffer the consequences.

My adult daughter lives with us, but she pays the utility bulls/ This has worked out for all of us because it enables her to save money and it helps my husband&I to nor have to pay the bills. She plans on buying her own home. We'll miss her & our grand cat, but we'll visit each other often.

My only child does not live with me. He's completely self supporting. If he and his family did need to move in, there would be clear expectations spelled out from the beginning. I expect it would never be an issue, though. I am very self sufficient and independent and he was taught the same.

I don't have kids I'm in my 20s but I would NEVER even consider dating a man who still lives with his parents. The ONLY exception is if he is his parents. FULL TIME caretaker. Other than that NO f**king way. It shows incredible immaturity to be a grown man living with your parents. Get a job

My 18 year old son lives at home and doesn't help much financially and doesn't take initiative, but will do anything I ask him to do without complaining

Our daughter stays with us, we never asked for money. She does so much to help out around the house and run errands.

Somehow we managed to raise a wise, fiscally responsible daughter -- as her husband will tell you!

I do have a adult child at home. With the year of COVID he lost his business and his place. He is trying to find a job and does help me with medical appointments etc while my husband is on the road. When I was his age his dad was deployed and we returned to my parents home. Upon their request.
