More and more adults are going back home. Grown up kids who experience hardships living on their own are going back home to their elderly parents. The brief experience outside the comfort zone of their parents may not be so good thus the choice to go back to
their origins.
You may be filled with anxiety if your grown up kids came running back home. This is so if you were enjoying living in an empty nest. Economic problems are among reasons that flash out the adults from their own places. High cost of living and being broke due to prolonged recession may keep pushing your kids back home.
Establish boundaries
When your adult children move back home, ensure you establish clear boundaries. Set some rules that your kids should follow to ensure you are all comfortable with living together. You can set rules in regards to music, parties, child care if any, religion, language and respect.
Set a time frame
You and your grown up kids can set a time frame to move out and work toward it. Specific time targets can help your kid work hard and save enough money to move out and get an apartment. The agreement can help kids focus more firmly on the future.
Establish clear communication
Talk with your children with open clear communication channels. Senior fathers and mothers have to chat with their kids about responsibilities and expectations. Talk about what is expected of them in regards to utilities, chores, guest, cooking, rent and laundry. You can also advise them on their future, finances and careers.
Learn the changes of your kids have undergone
To live happily with your boomerang kids may require you to learn and understand the changes your kids have undergone. Do not assume you know what the kids are going through or have been going through. This can ensure a smooth transition because you will be in a position to live together harmoniously.
Prepare for money requests
Be ready to be asked for financial assistance from your adult kids. If your kids are broke and cannot provide money for the basics, you can help them without jeopardizing your financial. Provide some assistance while encouraging them to find a job and contribute to their keep.
Do what you can
Do not push yourself to the limits. Seniors should do what they can for their kids without compromising their future or home.
