Adult Kids Returning Home

[grandmoon]

Over the years I have my kids returning home for a few week or months.  It doesn't happen now as the are all grandparents.

This morning I have had one of my adult grandsons asking if he could stay with me for a few weeks until he finds somewhere else to live.

Charge him $200 per week and he won't come back.  He will spread the word and bingo problem solved

I intend charging him board and I am writing a list of house rules.

I am also thinking of jobs he can do around the house.

Oh..I got all excited for a minute !

Thought DDU must have finally finished her Ettiquette course at the Swiss Finishing School for Norti Posters and was coming home.

I miss her.....say hello.

Our adult kids have never moved back since we sold the house and moved to another town LOL

Mine have all returned home at some stage in their adult lives, some with spouses, some with spouses and children..............usually while waiting for a house to be built or between houses, I miss them sometimes, lol. Problem is, they usually arrive with "stuff" and take up my space.

That probably why he isn't moving back with his mother

It's funny how some leave such an impression and are unforgettable, lol

Mine have over the years returned home when the outside world got a bit hot. lol.

Daughter returned home after uni to work locally. (I don't count that one because I expected it) She married and moved out after 12 months.

Oldest son returned home after five years out of the nest due to a relationship break up. Stayed with us for seven or eight months (broke his ankle while here) and then found employment and a flat when he was fit.

Youngest son has been out and home so many times I have lost count. 🙂 Once due to a work injury and loss of job as a result. When fit he worked for 12 months before resuming an apprenticeship and moving out. He and partner have asked to move back in next year to save for a home deposit. What can you do? Family is family.

Times are different now. I left school at 17 and found work straight away. Moved out of home and never went back. Work was easier to find, we did it ourselves not relying on paid middlemen like today. Most of us married young and just got on with things.
