Hello All,
I normally try to bite my tongue when I think about giving advice (my opinion) about someone else's personal issues, buy this topic hits home with me. Is there a right/wrong answer to this issue? Not at all. I believe our different beliefs come from our culture and generation. I moved out when of parents house when I was 18. But I always knew I could go back to my parents house at any time. In raising me and my siblings, my parents #1 objective was to be the provider for their kids so we would not have to go through the struggles and challenges they did. They never closed the door. My two siblings moved in and out several times from the time when I left. Over the years I did pretty well for myself (financially). Then life came full circle. My parents needed my help. I helped them without question for over 5 years. Each year a little less until things got better. Recently, I was unexpectedly laid off and due to events that were out of my control, I found myself, at age 39, asking my parents if I could move back in. Full circle once again. But just as much as I needed a roof over my head, they needed someone to help with them with their daily needs.
My point is that when we are brought into this world, it is our parents who take care of us. And when and our time is almost up in this world, we look to our children to take care of us.
To anyone who wants their kids out of their home, (for any reason), I ask you, how would you feel when you are old and turn to your children for help, and they tell you, You are a burden on me, I want you out of my home?
