You have got to kidding if my children think they're coming back.

Kids don't always live with the parents. Sometimes the parents live with the kids. The difference is who's making the money and paying the bills.

If Dad's broke and can't work and Junior is keeping the roof over Dad's head, then Junior should get some respect and credit for doing the right thing.

I tried to move back to my parents house after college, and they made me sleep in a tent in the back yard. Talk about incentive to find another place quickly...

I have to agree with kikaiju. I think it's great when it's the parents that are being helped by their children in a time when our government isn't doing their share.

I love drucifer's parents method. I may have to try that if any of our's come back.

The only reason for the adult children to be broke all the time is possibly because the parents forgot to teach them how to spend their money sensibly and live without a few things. Most of these kids are coming from homes where there were two incomes coming in and no one at home full time to raise the children properly.
