Adult Kids Who Stay At Home
... sap you and zap your personal power
An interesting and disturbing trend seems to be on the rise in America, and that is fully grown adult children living at home with their parents, often well into their 20’s and even 30’s. One has to wonder what the reasons are for this, though there seems to be little doubt as to the consequences. The net result is a loss of personal power for both the adult child and the parents who support him.
There has been a remarkable shift in the living arrangements for kids who are not actively pursuing college education. Whereas the tendency for kids has always been to want to get away from home, spread their wings, and learn self-sufficiency, many are now choosing to abandon these goals and reside with their parents as independent adults. Or are they?
