Two of the most lovely days of a parent’s life is when their child is born and when that child leaves the house to be self-sufficient.  Nowadays, many parents cannot say they are experiencing lovely day number two.  From birth to adulthood, parents teach kids how to learn, how to adapt, how problem solve, and how to stand on their own two feet.

But we are in a what many still call a recession.  We’re plagued with out of control gas prices, a disjointed housing market, a job market that is either hit or miss, and a time where even the government is asking for more many.  With that said, it’s not as easy for adult kids to leave the nest and venture into the world.  Even for those that have tried, many have found themselves back at square one – Mom or Dad’s house.

Some even go out, marry and start their own families and bring them back to the parent’s abode.  This ultimately leads to Mom and Dad taking care of a another mom and dad and grandkids as well.  Just to give you a snapshot, check this out.

As you can see, in California, the adult kid at home rate has grown by 7.1 percentage points.  If these parents are letting these kids back in, one can only assume they are helping them financially as well.  What’s your stance on that?  I realize that my audience here is more likely to be the adult kids, but you will be in that same predicament one day and will have to make a decision to continue to aid your kids are turn a cold shoulder and leave your kids in the cold lonely world .

So that’s my spill, there’s the data, just need your opinion…
