The term adult "children" was probably meant to mean adult "offspring".
But many times it does mean "children".

I miss them both every time the door shuts behind them and they are off...

^^Hell, I know a thing or two about Paul, which tells me all I need to know about his kids.
That said, I'd let his kids live in
my home rent free. I'd hope some of their awesomeness rubbed off!

2. Go away to college (or military), and you're on your own--a young bird flying free for the first time. You're always welcome to come back and visit (and even crash once you're done with school and/or military), but for long-term see rule #3.
3. Not going to school? Get a job and pay me rent.
In my book, there are no such thing as adult children. Once you're an adult, you're no longer a child, and no longer my responsibility. I have spent the last 18 years teaching you how to be successful in life; now it's your turn to put those lessons into action.

^^Essentially the same as my rules.

Damn kids, they always find a workaround to parental rules.
