[quote=Anonymous]My kids can live at home until they are done with their terminal degree, if they want. I’m sure I was a real jerk in HS and college and my parents let me live there the 1st 2 summers of college until I decided to stay on campus on my own for jobs and summer school. My parents sat me down and said “we’re not going to treat you like a kid as long as you respect us as roommates” They laid down some rules and it was fine - do your own laundry, don’t block cars in the driveway or take a car without asking, tell people when you aren’t coming home for the night, let people know if you will be around for dinner, don’t eat all the food and leave messes everywhere, do your share of chores, etc. To this day, my parents and I have a good relationship because they treat me like a competent adult on equal footing. My husband has a much more child-parent dynamic with his parents. [/quote]
