Grown children living at home.

[braggin]

A lot of adult kids have to live at home these days because they cannot afford housing which is unbelievably expensive. I don't see a problem with it so long as they contribute to the household bills and do their share of the house and yard work.

Definitely not me.  My daughter has her own home with a great paying job. I prepared her for taking care of her self at the age of 18.  She has now completed a double Bachelor degree and has been accepted into the Masters program.  In other words she is very intelligent and doing well.

There is currently a show where mom and dad and their 4 adult kids, all who are married and have 2-5 kids of their own all live in the same house!  I cant remember theres something like 25 members of the family

They live in Michigan, they all even share one bank account, they all say they enjoy one anothers company that much!

The show is called Meet The Putmans

None so far, Family all works and paying the bills in a shared manner at my place.

He should make him get a job and pay for his way in life, like having an IPhone, quitting school after 3 yrs. and only one year to go before finishing, he has lost his ever loving mind, his daddy is paying for him to stay in his apartment and living with you, he needs a reality check, stop taking care of a grown man who is able to get out and get a job, and stop sponging off his dad, as long your BF/ his dad, is allowing him to stay in his apartment, he  should set rules, get a job or go back to school, he can't have his cake and eat it too.

Speaking as an adult who still lives with her parents...sometimes things aren't so cut and dry. I have health issues and PTSD. Which is why I come online to make money. That's not to say I don't help out. I do the laundry, vacuum, feed the dogs, help pay for groceries. Actually the utilities are in my name because my parents credit is crappy. I guess I just mean, if you hear that there's an adult still living home, don't judge to harshly. You don't know why. I do what I can.

Only to help them out, while they save to get their own place.  Too many grown people in the house can cause problem.  Grown kids need to be on their own.

luvh8tragedy87 good for you

If it works for the family then its no one elses business!

my son is 21 and still living at home but he works 2 jobs and pays his own bills... never have to give him money so not sure if that's along the same lines as what you're saying

My 26yr old son lives with has a job and pays us some for food pg@e .  His girlfriend also lives at home I think they want to move in together. I don't think he's ready,she maybe. Now my husband and myself are both handicapped I use a wheelchair. I can still walk a little and do most homework. Our son is a big help and we like him around.

I certainly wouldn't be paying a grown child's bills... I have been on my own since I was 17 and have paid my own way for everything, including college. I have a sister in her late 30's. My parents pay her health insurance, car payment, car insurance, etc..... I don't get it.

[bremer51]

I lived with my parents for two years after college. I also used their car. My salary was pitiful.  Finally I found an apartment I could afford and they were disappointed I was moving out.  We always enjoyed each other's company. And I chipped in for expenses.

Show of hands, how many of you support your grown children?
I have two children: a 30 year old daughter and a 25 year old son. Both are on their own, supporting themselves without help from me. My boyfriend, on the other hand, has a 25 year old son with an Iphone 8 that lives in my boyfriends apartment AND my boyfriend pays all the bills, rent and his cell phone bill!!! His son only works 17 hours a week in retail and he got that job after he quit college after completing 3 years of a 4 year degree. He dropped out as he was tired of going to school. My boyfriend started staying in my apartment a year ago but refuses to give up his apartment. Am I crazy for seeing this as not ok? Or, am I wrong and many people still care for their grown children? Thoughts please....

Well you know that if you all marry that your money will go to support his kid.  A kid who is lazy.  Some people there could be a reason for them living at home and it is none of anyone on the outside business to say anything.  But in the situation you described I would not keep dating a man who was supporting his son like that.  He pays his kid's bills and you pay your alls bills.

I am almost 29 and I moved out when I was 21. But I know a lot of people who still live at home. Almost all the girls I work with still live at home and one is almost 40 with 3 kids. She does help with bills though..

[mamatygress]

My son is 19 and in his second year of college.  I guess I'm fine with him living with us until he wants to move out, but after he graduates, he will be paying rent, etc.
