This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with 60-year-old Sheila Anderson, a retiree in Virginia whose adult children live at home with her and her husband.
In the final months of 2020 — one year after she graduated from college — doctors discovered a brain tumor in my now 25-year-old daughter Alicia just after she lost her job as a manufacturing engineer in southern Virginia. As her parents, we encouraged her to move back home to the Baltimore-area for better work opportunities, and so that doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital could keep a close eye on her.
When my daughter first moved in, we thought we'd just see how things went with her health issues and job-hunting. She eventually found a job she could do remotely, and a few months after she was hired, my husband and I said,"OK, you've got to start paying rent." He was a couple weeks late on his first payment, but he still hasn't paid rent for February. I've already asked him about it, so now it's up to my husband to make sure he pays us before March.She has her own schedule for work, so we don't really see much of her during the day. I don't really have to worry about her when she goes out because she's not a teenager anymore. She's an adult, and as of now, she's recovered – what she does is her choice.
Every parent landlord I know is always last to be paid if paid at all ..always late , excuses coddled kids ..now if they r responsible (1%) this can work out for all parties and allow kids to save. The ones I observe just stay broke yet don’t pay either
Moving back home is ok with a purpose. Are you saving to buy a house or clear some debt or are you just moving back for the cheaper rent? It’s gotta be a purpose.
