[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It just depends.  If your child is [i]moving back in because of a trauma or problem, or is pregnant, or is a NEET[/i], that is one thing because the parent is having to take on a challenging situation with no clear end.  If it is a summer break or a semester distance learning due to covid, that is different.  If it is just about holiday breaks from college, why not do 50/50, it's just a few weeks so what is the big deal?  The way you phrase it as "after turning 18" would capture a lot of high school seniors and I doubt anyone is tossing their child out on their birthday.  [/quote]

And, again, if divorced, how do you make the choice about were they should live in the first situation? Here again, I feel like I was ostracized from their lives for nearly 18 years - very little but a monthly check, in reality - and really feel like it should be the ex who should deal with this kind of situation.

Has anyone had this experience? I'm asking from a parent's perspective.[/quote]
You are the parent here, the onus is/was on you to strive to have a relationship with the child. [/quote]
