Getting Used To It: When Your Adult Kid Lives at Home: Making It Work Without the Shame
Manage episode 518039308 series 3556198
Your adult child is living at home. And instead of treating it like a failure, what if you designed it to actually work?
In many cultures, kids stay home until marriage. In this economy, it's increasingly common. But we don't talk about HOW to make it work - the practical boundaries, the financial conversations, the design of a launch pad instead of a holding pattern.
Suzee and Beth discuss different cultural approaches to multigenerational living, how to set up your home and expectations for success, and why the outside judgment matters less than what actually works for your family.
