Do you have kids over 18 still living with you?

My kids are all over 18. They don't live at home anymore. When they did they did help out. They also told me where they were going and when they would be back. They know parents worry and that something could happen to them. Even though they don't live at home now they will still let me know when they are going out or traveling. They want me to know in case something happens and they don't get back on time so someone looks for them. I feel once they quit school even if it is at 16 years old they need to get a job and help. It is time for them to learn that things are not free. They had to buy their own cars. If they wanted expensive clothes they bought them their selves. I raised 4 very responsible kids.

Not so far, my 26 year old has been on his own since we was 18, he is living in Florida. My two at home now know that if they stay they will pay. Chores and money will be their life. I encourage them to go. I am looking forward to being by myself on my place. I will have less to do and they will be the two most interesting people I know when they get places of their own. You do them no favor by letting them be adult children in your home. This is a life they are meant to lead and that means to have their own place, plain or fancy and get going on doing their own things. You have more life to live too, so make new friends and do new things or those things you have been putting off!

I am over 18 and still living with my parents, Because i am Muslim and Islam teaches us Unity in every way of life, we are so Lucky. We don't have any problems due to this But we are so happy,

I moved out when I was 16. My younger brother moved off to college when he was 18, but my youngest brother still lives at home and he is turning 21 soon. He doesn't work or contribute, and shows no desire to do anything. If they follow the rules and contribute to the family I see no harm, it's when they are allowed to freeload that makes it harder for them to become an independent adult.
