No, you'll be 80 or 90 so you'll probably appreciate them being there.

Ask my 49 year old BIL. Or better yet, ask my MIL (she is... non plussed).

As long as they're financially independent, it's fine. Some people earn dividends or other forms of passive income, and don't need to work. They stay with family for the company, to care for dependents, because they're introverts, or have mental health issues.

It takes all kinds, OP.

My parents, in their 90s, would love it if any one of their four kids lived at home. They're lonely and need people to run errands, play chess, figure out technology. If your person can help with cooking or wash the dishes, they're golden.

IMO Gen z wouldn’t help with anything they would still want them to do everything for them and they be taking about how they felt the same age they felt in 2020.

My late 30s brother recently moved in with my grandmother who is in her 90s. He was sick of living with his roommate and thought he could be helpful to her and my parents (who live nearby and had been doing the work of helping her). She is absolutely delighted that he is there, even though she already saw my parents daily.

You're so dull with your generational warfare. Go away.

My Boomer uncle lived at home with my grandparents all the way until they died and he did very little to help them with anything. Failing to become independent, successful adults is a thing that can happen in any generation.

We live in a small home as it is. They wouldn’t have any room to live with us 29 years from now.

Well, parents would be likely dead by then, home sold or mortgage inherited so they won't be living at parental home.

To he fair, multigenerational living is beneficial for everyone, aging parents may appreciate having them. If it works out, its a win win.

My kids are young millennials and I love having them visit but I don’t want them to live with us. So I would count your scenario as a fail. Luckily they are both well launched.

If I had lived with my mother past college one of us wouldn’t have survived.

My parents tried to bribe me to live at home with them as long as possible, so not all parents want the adult kids to move away. I moved away as far as possible as soon as possible!

That worked out well for everyone. I don’t see a problem with a single middle aged child lives with his parents or grandparents as long as they all agree.
