The daughter didn't move out until she ws 28............luckily it was her father's house she refused to move out of.

my 24 year old son still at home BUT,he has half the morgage,looks after me and his girlfriend stays over at the weekend.so i better watch in case he asks me to move out .

How does he have half the mortgage Slinky, do you mean he pays half the mortgage or he ownes half the house and pays half the mortgage. My 24 yr old son lives at home too - I like it - dont like being the only adult in the house - and he helps me with lots of things - like how to sort out the computer - does the garden - walks the dog - lots of things.

jno jnr stayed until he was about 27 (or rather, he returned home after university). He was working and saving hard to buy a place of his own - and now has two - so we did not charge bed and board, as he would only have had to stay even longer.

Excellent tinkerbelle!! The problem nowadays is that so many young people can't or don't want to leave home 'till in their late 20s, sometimes even later. It is also that many of them don't, can't or won't pay their way. And those who do manage to move out and start a life for themselves often end up coming back time and time again, because we as parents don't want to let them down. They come back due to family split ups, not being able to cope with the costs of living on their own, sometimes so that they can simply save money on housing etc etc. Parents used to look forward to restarting their life with their partners once the children had flown the nest, catching up with all the things they were unable to do while the children were still young. Now parents often are still providing for their offspring and grand children, even when they are of pensionable age! Sad really!
