[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Completely different take on this.

Many cultures around the world embrace having family together, even into their adult years. Many times an adult child might only leave the home when they are married or are about to start a family. At 27, he is old enough to be a part of the finances of the home, even if you are "comfortable" financially. Dependent upon your age , there may be a consideration for quality of life, will he be your primary caregiver once you begin to go down hill? I don't think your son is coasting through life, try expanding the perspective and make the most of the situation. Include him on big decisions, start letting him be a part of household management. Could be a blessing in disguise.[/quote]

I couldn't agree more with this take on the subject.

The kid left the home at 18 and parents barely saw him for 6 years. Then the pandemic hit and now he's having a hard time getting back into the "world". What's new!

Maybe he's also missing some "family" time or the comfort of being at "home" for once.

Culturally, most adult children leave when financially ready or married. Period.

If you have the means, space and a good relationship with your adult children , Is it that bad to let them live at home with you? Why does it bother you so much? Could he find a good job and still be able to stay home?

I left home at 27, got a place with my boyfriend and we've been married for 20yrs.

We discussed finances and boundaries then but getting "kicked out" was never a thing...
