[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My now 27 year old moved out at 24. My 25 year old has no interest in moving and she is welcomed to live at home until she sees fit to leave.[/quote]

Ugh...I worry this where I'll end up. Not that your situation is bad, but unclear. My 9 (yes, nine!) yo has told me he wants to go to UMCP (we live in Moco) so he can live at home. So I've decided that I need to make this a home that they enjoy - but not enough to stay as an adult...

:lol: Why? Why is a child's desire to stay at home as an adult seen as a failure to launch?  If they can co-exist in harmony and as responsible adults, having a joint (multi-generational) family is an insurance against many of life's adversities and challenges that can visit us.

The trick is to create a family culture so that the communal living simplifies and enriches life for everyone, resulting in infrastructure of care for elderly, disabled, sick, children, unemployed etc. On a societal scale, it is like the social welfare systems of the Nordic countries where everyone works together to have benefits for all.

Of course, for this structure to work, no one can be the boss at all times and do what they want to all the time.   In other words, a culture that has respect for each other, gratefulness, spirit of reciprocity, civic sense and patience, can find this a very beneficial situation. [/quote]
