[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We have three kids, and it took a little while for each to get a full-time job, but all are doing well now. Two lived at home for a year after college and the youngest is in her second year year living at home. Since we live walking distance of the metro, it just makes sense. There is very little stigma of doing this among their college friends or our family friends, as they realize how much rent they save while having better amenities. The only thing is that they attended a private school and there very few of their high school classmates who live at home. Most who are not doing something corporate are [b]being subsidized by the bank of mom and dad[/b].[/quote]
Important point, lol. Many of my daughters friends are doing things like legislative assistant and I used to wonder, how TF do you afford that $3K apartment in Logan Circle? You can’t be making more than $50K/year. But then the answer becomes pretty obvious. [/quote]

+1 yep[/quote]
Wrong. [b]Parents of any means would help the 22 yr old buy the Logan Circle condo. [/b]Because we despise inflated rents payments and no equity growth. 
But funny the moms who help adult children by allowing them to live at home (no problem) but are all  :roll: if other parents help their adult children by setting them up to start building some equity. One’s the M&D Bank and the other is not? Ok. [/quote]

You are out of touch.  Most people cannot bankroll their adult kids at this level.[/quote]
Didn’t say “most,” said parents with the means might do so. But you missed the point. Why be all “it’s so wonderful we can help our have our adult children and allow them to live at home and save some rent $” and then roll eyes at the other families where you suspect the parents help adult children get places of their own a la “bank of M&D”? [b]Just continue to do what’s best for your family and stop with all the side eye at what others choose to do.[/b] [/quote]

Well if people did that, then no one would ever go on DCUM  :lol: [/quote]
