[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kid got an interesting job but low salary - will need to live at home while commuting in the beginning. What ground rules should be set? I don’t want to return to doing laundry etc[/quote] Create a list of "rules for living at home as an adult" and sit down and have a discussion with your kid---adult to adult. Set the expectations from the start. IMO, it's not unreadable to expect a grown adult to do their own laundry, keep their room clean (no food left around, no wet towels on floor, bedding laundered weekly, etc), keep their bathroom clean, let you know if they will/wont be home for dinner (just like I'd expect my spouse to let me know that, and not at 6pm), if they will be out late or wont be coming home that night please just let me know, etc. Basic general common courtesies that adults living in the same home afford each other.
