[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2024 VA Tech grad is living at home in order to save as much money as he can before moving out three years from now.  He makes 120K and saves about 95% of his income, after 401K & taxes.  He is on my family healthcare plan, so he is also saving money there.  His gf is also doing the same thing, so then they will have about 350K in cash when they move out and get married.  [/quote]

Does he do his own cooking, cleaning, tidying or does he expect a meal on the table like when he was little? Honestly as a VERY burnt out mom of teenagers that is the one thing that makes me dread this. The minute they are in college I will stop cooking meals. I'm not going back to servitude for years to come.[/quote]

I have no sympathy for people who wear their crown of thorns so openly. My teen is capable of cooking a few types of food (at least) for themselves. If she can, so can yours. So can adult children living at home.

Cooking a meal here and there is nothing at all like being the default adult for meals. [/quote]

A college grad living at home should be contributing towards the family cooking responsibilities. 
I'd have them cooking at least 2x/week.  THey'd be cooking if they were living on their own.  So why not?

Here is the thing: I don't want dinner. The only reason I make dinner is for my family and especially kids. I don't want to ever cook routinely once kids are in college and beyond. I am looking forward to doing it with great joy occasionally for one week, for two weeks, when my kids are here on vacations and then grandkids. I am not okay with even 3, 4 times a week of cooking dinners as a massive chore after a long day of work for my entire adult life all year round. Btdt for 18 years.[/quote]
