[quote=Anonymous]I don't think there's anything wrong with parents helping their children when they really need it the most. I think the children should be helping themselves as well, though. If the child is able to work, they should be working a 40-hour a week job and saving up to improve their own lives, whether that's affording to rent an apartment (which is expensive these days) :roll: , or purchase a small starter home of their own. If they need to purchase a car or other big-ticket items, then they can save for that as well. Adult children with active savings and life-improvement goals living with parents or family to save up is perfectly acceptable, however, adult children laying around the house and doing nothing to improve themselves is another story entirely. "Leeching" off of parents is different than using a place to stay as a "launching pad" to improve their lives is perfectly acceptable. None of that obviously applies to children with severe disabilities, substance addictions, etc. as yes, I understand, that not every adult works full time and is able to do so. [/quote]
