[quote=Anonymous]My perspective on this has changed as I have gotten to know more families, including my husband’s family, where young adults live at home as young adults. The move-out-at-18-you-are-on-your-own then is prevalent in American culture, but doesn’t always make sense. Plenty of people live at home while studying or working to save money. It’s also nice to be around family. Sure, I know a handful of true failures to launch. There is usually a (mental) health issue (often self-medicated with substances) at play. I am not judging them and hope they can get to a better spot. My takeaway for parenting is that I will do what I can to raise a confident young person, expose him to different things to see what he may be interested in, and pay attention to mental health.
