[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't move "home" after college; I got a job and scrabbled to support myself from the start.  It would have been bizarre if my dad (mom isn't living) HAD tried to impose "rules" on me, a self-supporting adult who didn't live in his home.

Same here. My mom & dad paid for my college education. Immediately after graduation, I got a job (kick started by my senior year internship), a roommate, and an apartment. A year later, I moved into a two-bedroom on my own, with a well-paying job that also enabled me to put money into savings. My parents have helped me in small ways here and there, but I always paid rent, bills, car payments, and insurance on my own, and always with a steady job. We have a very good relationship.

My brother had a harder time getting his life kick-started: went to college for a couple of years, then moved back home while working. He dropped back into school after another few years, graduated, moved cross-country, and has been MORE than self-sufficient, though he always has a room at our parents' house. They also have a very good relationship. (And he's a phenomenal uncle to DS.)

Mom & dad have always been supportive, but never asked for a curfew or anything else like that from us. And in return, they know that we'll take care of them. [/quote]
