[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 630857, member: 1550"] COM, none of my kids were home past twenty-one so I was thinking more of 18-21. I consider that young adulthood, not an extension of childhood, or a time to party with mom's car on mom's dime or a time to sleep all day and not go to school and work. I was kind of lucky that way. My kids all did strive for independence and were encouraged all their lives to want to be independent. Now 36 was tossed out or he may still be here..lol...but he did get a good job, buy the house, pay his own bills, etc. Any kid who is over 21 and living in my house better be paying rent of at least $300 month, which is cheaper than any apartment, going to work five days a week, helping with all chores, and being easy to live with. And he better be planning when he is going to eventually fly the coop. I can't imagine having a child that old at home. I think Julie would have left on her own if she hadn't been shown the door. The only ones who seem to never leave are the ones who are the hardest to live with and think they are Peter Pan!!! [/QUOTE]
