They’re Baaack

I bellieve that if the kids want to move back or have to move back in with thier parents, the parents did a poor job of raising them and teaching them to be responsible. These kids could live on their own they would have to live at a lower social-economic staus than their parents. What happen to starting out with nothing and working your way up on your own and not depending on Mom and Dad.

I would never put the burden on moving back home on my mother. She did a heck of a job raising six boys on her own and now she is out living her life to the fullest! I am proud of her for always having an open door to my older brothers who repeatedly moved back home with their wife AND kids. I know the stress that put on her but she never once said no. I am eagerly waiting for the time that it is my turn to open my door for my mother and I can return all the love she gave me as a child.

I am not sure you could generalize how parents feel about their children moving back in , but I am sure of one thing is that my mother is eagerly looking forward to the day when my wife and I move back into our parents home or the other they move into ours.

In most cases for me, when kids want to go back to their parents, that's a sign that the parents did a good job. I have two teens and life with them is just wonderful. I know that they'll leave eventually and I love my wife but I don't particularly look forward to those days.

As a college student planning to move back home after next semester, I find many issues with this article.

First, I don't see why Mrs. Collier must reduce time spent with her husband, or why they cannot go to the Inauguration- her kids are 19 and 23, and I'm sure they can cook a meal on their own for a few nights. If they cannot handle this or if they cannot clean up after themselves, I think there are much deeper issues in this family.

Secondly, a poll if 123 women is not a very large sample size, so I think this data is problematic.

I'd say if these families just treat their returned children as adults and there is mutual respect between them, everything should be fine.
