[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 257067, member: 1550"] I can tell you what I'd expect from my grown kids and it is not my experience that most of them want to be Mommy's Little Kid again at 26!!! Lord, all my kids were long gone by then and didn't WANT to come back because they valued their independence. If they came back, I'd expect rent, a full time job, chores, and adhering to my house rules. They would pay all their own bills and help with food. We're talking 26 here, not 18. 18 is a world of difference from 26. If my grown kid wanted to live here without contributing and sleeping all day, he'd find his luggage on the front lawn and I wouldn't feel a bit guilty. Not at age 26! In four years, this man will be 30! You don't want to raise a perpetual child. [/QUOTE]
