[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 712518, member: 1550"] It is hard to live with even a well behaved thriving adult child. They are still adults and we have to remember that (which is hard when they live with us) and they want to keep certain things to themselves and have privacy. And so do we. It is easy for two many adults in one home to get on one anothers nerves, contrary to homey but unrealistic sit coms where whole families live together. Our culture promotes independence for adults and that doesnt work well if the whole gang lives together. I also think this makes all child adults regress and depend on us at a time when they need to learn to stand on their own, either through hard work or community services if necessary. [/QUOTE]
