My pcdaughter just moved out last week. She will be 18 in Nov. Pcson moved out the summer after he graduated from high school and has been in and out for brief periods but never longer than 3 months. I, too, believe they should leave and get on with thier lives. I feel my job is to raise them to be responsible, self-supporting adults. difficult child, on the other hand, seems to be quite comfortable here, which is kind of scarey===husband lived at home until he was 32????? (Yikes, I hope that is not the story here!)
