> personally believe that the family connection is crucially important and it must remain as intact as possible until the adult children are ready to form their own families. There is no better incubator for future good people than a good family life.
I think there's something to be said for living on your own, cooking your own meals, doing your own laundry and housework, paying your own living expenses, and managing your own finances, before taking the plunge into a situation where it's non-optional. (E.g. a marriage.)
- rebootthesystem 10y agoThe things you mention are incompatible with adult children staying at home longer. The secret is to have some of those things be part of normal life from when they are little. Bring the laundry to the washing machine. Help fold it. Help cook Help clean, etc. Not that difficult. The financial side can be introduced initially through games and later on in different ways. It just takes forethought and consistency. And it doesn't have to be punishment but rather part of normal life.
