[QUOTE="Hope_Floats, post: 638933, member: 18310"] Your problem seems to be common these days. This particular generation doesn't seem to be as eager to be out on their own and independent as we were at that age. My father had always let us know that any child above legal adult age (over 18) had no legitimate reason to live at home rent free unless they were in school part time. He let all of us four kids know that upfront and said that the parents job was to provide roots and wings, and at 18, we earned our wings. Do your adult children contribute financially to the household expenses? I would start there. Then a reasonable time frame to either be in school full time or find other housing. A conversation where you tell them that you love them, and because you love them that it is time for you to help them grow up. You have paid your dues, my friend, and deserve some space to pursue the next chapter of your own life. [/QUOTE]
