How young is young enough and how old is too old?

I have my 26-year-old at home, and soon my 22-year-old as well.

It's still fun having the boys live at home. It's been fun these past few weeks watching the Red Sox and the Patriots with them. Their friends are
in and out of the house and we enjoy having them.

I don't want them forever, but I have a big house and it's cool to have it full of people!

give em da boot at 18!
it will do da mamaluke a world of good....

I lived at home during the summer and at Xmas break during college. After I graduated, I became a corporate drone and never worked less than 90 minutes from my home town. The Southcoast of Massachusetts isn't exactly a job mecca for high tech workers and living at home wasn't an option. Too bad since, other than distance to the ski hill, it's a fantastic place to live.

Until my father sold out and moved to Florida, I spent a ton of weekends in my home town in the summer. I had a yacht club membership there and had a boat in the harbor. When I took 18 months off back in from Dec 1998 through September 2000, I spent a good slice of the summer of 1999 there.

My dad is now in an altzheimers lockdown facility and barely knows who I am. I'm glad I got to spend that much time with him over the years.

you sound like a nice kid. I lived with my mom with she was dying of cancer and I was very glad I was able to spend those last months with her, knowing our time was limited together.

[XtremeJibber2001]

I guess I would if I could bring myself to do it, sh*t it would give me the chance to save some serious coin for a house .... but that's the easy way so I'd rather be independent.

On the other hand, I do spend a week or two at home during the holidays or when I'm at a client close to home.
