Absolutely...

Absolutely not. I would never charge my kids.

Kinda crazy mixed messaging from the above poster:

"If an adult child moves home and never leaves, the parents were remiss in promoting their child's self confidence, self worth, self relience, and courrage.

I know of no one who wouldn't want to have a rewarding job, live their own life, make their own way in the world, but some parents are overly involved in their children, and make them dependent, never allowing them to decide, make mistakes, and learn from them. Helicopter parents."

@They CallMe MRWILKES  She said if an adult child moves home and NEVER LEAVES. There is a big difference. 

Pay attention and try to keep up.🙄

I would think it depends on the circumstances as to why a adult child is moving home.  

I would hope my children if needed moved home we'd have to have some type of agreement: length of stay, chores, etc so I wouldn't have that forever houseguest (I don't want to enable them).  

I moved out at 18 and always knew I could go home, if necessary,  My dad was very supportive and I'd hope to be the same.

my late son who died from a motorcycle crash 11/21/13, was mentally ill and had drug problems. We had to pay rent on an apartment for him just to get him out of our home. While we waited for Social Security Disability and SSI to get approved. I loved him with all my heart but he was tearing our family apart. I constantly felt like I was on the brink of a total breakdown. There is no easy answer to the OP's original question. It depends on a myriad of factors.

@smoochy   I am so very sorry that you lost your son.

I think the answers to this question answers the one about why more woman are living on there own and not getting seriously involved with men who are still being taken care of by mommy with no responsibility for their maintainance.

@reiki604  Nobody asked that question.

Thank you so much for patrolling the content of this board in your position of board police. I hope QVC compensates you appropriately

@reiki604  It was compensation enough to know I got under your skin. My comment was just that -- a comment. No board policing involved. Touchy aren't you.

Clearly, some can not handle even the slightest modicum of deviation from their right think.

But that's OK on a public forum.

Carry on Dear QVC Ladies.  Y'all crack me up and provide the greatest interweb entertainment ever!

@They CallMe MRWILKES  We must. You spend a huge amount of time here and seem quite involved with QVC goings-on.

[candys mine]

Absolutely.  In Some way, shape, or form.  Help support the roof you are under weather it be through monetary means or physical support.  If you don't have money, you help by doing chores.  Responsibility comes in many guises.

Absolutely Not. They would be moving back home to get back on their feet. Let them save the money to help them do what they need to do to become stable. That and being family we would never charge family members.
