[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How many of these parents are going to want their kid to move in with them again when they’re 80 and need help? That’s what the old-fashioned “failure to launch” maiden aunts did in my family. If we had more of them we wouldn’t need assisted living facilities.[/quote] Define “need help”. If it’s the light housekeeping, cooking, shopping, it’s more efficient to save money for that rather than support a FTL kid until your 80s. If it’s the full blown hands on care - mwahahaha. The 50 y o “child” who so far was incapable to do any job will suddenly step up for a very challenging task. Yeah, no. [/quote]
