Family Minute #6

They’re Back!

Have you ever heard of boomerang children? They’re the twenty-somethings and thirty-somethings who leave home, and then move back in again. Yes, just when you’re getting ready to turn their old bedroom into a home gym or a guest suite – they’re back! Of course, there’s nothing wrong with helping our children as they transition from one job or school to another, but we need to encourage our kids to be responsible and focused while they’re under our roof. If your adult children do move back home, set up guidelines right away, and have them contribute for household expenses like groceries and electricity. Even if you don’t need the money, still have your child help out.

Remember, your family first.
