Occasionally, the child simply hasn't grown up enough. Marriage, children, jobs. Young adults are getting more education. They are waiting longer to marry and even longer to have children. The return move or extended stay can create tension in the home that can be detrimental for all, Wilson said.
Communication is a key to getting off on the right foot.
Issues such as dating, finances, chores and more should be decided up front. Immediately, you need to decide what set of rules to use and who is in charge of what. Failure to negotiate these things will probably mean the family will fall back on whatever were the rules when the young adult child left. This often no longer fits and will be frustrating for both generations. Family relationships are often very set, and unlike in past generations, it isn't always clear who is in charge when an adult child returns.
