8/18 Tuesday

Main Idea:


Often when older children move back home, unpleasant tensions and disagreements arise. 2 However, adult children who move back home can avoid family conflicts by following some tips. 3 First, they should contribute what they can—and it need not be in terms of money: Being productive family members will help them earn their keep. 4 This can involve tutoring or coaching younger sisters or brothers, or helping Mom and Dad with chores and errands. 5 Second, these “returnees” should not expect their parents to rescue them from difficulties. 6 As adults, they are responsible for getting out of their own scrapes—and for trying to avoid them in the first place. 7 Last, they must respect their parents’ lifestyles and own needs for independence. 8 It is unrealistic to expect parents’ lives to revolve around the needs of a grown child, in the manner they may have when the child was younger.
