It gives them an opportunity to learn how to behave and how to transition to being a self-sustaining adult. Eventually they will reach a point of diminishing returns. If they fail to leave their parents' house, they will begin to rebel as they seek to establish their own identity separate from their parents.</p>\n<p>There are some skills that a person can only get from living on their own (or with roommates who aren't their parents). They must learn to take of themselves and to handle their own responsibilities. This is difficult to accomplish while living at home. Even if the person handles most of their own affairs, they still have their parents as a safety net. Some things can only be learned by doing them. </p>\n<p>If the specific circumstances require a person to live with their parents, it can be done. It takes people who are willing to <strong>communicate well and to respect each others' boundaries. </strong></p>\n<p>If a person has to move back with their parents because of health issues or financial issues, it can be done. The person needs to respect their parents as roommates and as people who are helping them in a difficult time. The parents need to remember that the person is still in charge of their own life and even if the parents are letting their child stay with them, if the child is an adult, he/she isn't the parents' responsibility. </p>\n<p>Ultimately, the success of [an adult] child living with their parents will depend on the ability of the people to adapt and be respectful of each other. Normally it is better for the child to leave and start their own life when they become an adult. They can still be in close relationship with their parents, but still guiding their own life instead of riding along with their parents. </p>\n<p><em>tl;dr It can work for an adult person to live with their parents although it's likely better for them to live in their own home. </em></p>\n<p>Image free to use from Pexels.com</p>","appDepth":2,"appParentPermlink":"p3dueqpsw","appParentAuthor":"sm-goldies","musingAppId":"aU2p3C3a8N","musingAppVersion":"1.1","musingPostType":"answer"}" |
