(33,056 posts)after trying to make it in San Francisco or Denver or Memphis. One of them--after 18 months of
living at home in Dallas with mom, signed up for an intensive web designing program in New York.
Finished the program and immediately got a job. (He was a U of VA grad). Another one is
living at home with parents--working--but developed really out of control spending habits
when in Denver due to a high maintenance girl friend. Yet another one has struggled with
depression all his life and after trying SF, couldn't do it, returned home to the northeast
and hasn't been able to hold a job or stay in school--community college. Yet another
one has an adult child at home who got out of the Navy and didn't know what to do with
himself. He's living at home and going to college--studying video technology--and looks like
he will finish college and hopefully, be able to find a job.
So there are a lot of other things going on out there that result in kids moving home, and I think
in some cases it's not knowing what to do with their lives, where they want to live, what they want
to do or how to manage financially even AFTER being out in the world on their own for a while.
