is that what i was for a few years. after college i did have to move back home a couple of times. but it was never a permanant situation.

i didnt stay locked in my room like they seem to be. they didnt make me pay rent which i gladly would have if asked. i helped around the house, did the odd repair jobs around the house. not the usual laundry, dishes, cooking, cleaning. but real labor jobs, helping build the new deck, new pannelling in the basement, install a new water heater, etc. saved them cost in labor what i could have been paying someone rent. dad and i really took advantage of the time together too, we went on fishing trips together, he finally had the time to teach me to fly fish. mom had some mobility issues too, so any help she needed i was always willing to help. they needed the extra hand around too, so they actully asked me to stick around. now that they are so far away i do really miss getting to see them as often as i did.

if they arent going to contribute in any way, send them on their way. freeloaders are what you have there.

i have a friend who is staying with his wifes family, but she has health issues that are beyond his insurance coverage so everyone is helping out togehter as a family. but otherwise he would feel as a married couple they have no right to stay there. he helps out his father in law all he can too.
