[QUOTE="svengandhi, post: 583409, member: 3493"] We live in the same area. Kids can't support themselves here after school. Most people I know have adult kids living with them, even me. My oldest son left home at 18 to live with 2 friends whose parents had died. He paid no rent and barely worked. We made him leave because he dropped out of college and his, attitude towards us was abysmal. He then moved into his girlfriend's grandparents' home (her dad is dead and her mom is permanently in a nursing home). We made him come home last year because their house was even messier than mine. Anyway, the time away has improved his attitude, as has some maturity. He's 22 now. My point is that it's really hard to know how they will be in a few years. Hopefully, your difficult child will mature as well and maybe at some point you could consider having him home. on the other hand, if he truly does go Johnson and Wales, he could get a job almost anywhere in the country. As for the in-laws, I would avoid the subject all together. My mother in law is oldest boy's champion but she wasn't asking for him to live there. I also like DDD's approach. [/QUOTE]
