In today's world, where adulthood has been redefined, it's essential to acknowledge that living at home with adult children can be both practical and beneficial, as evidenced by Lori's approach. She reflects a growing trend where parents are willing to support their adult children longer to help them navigate economic challenges.
Lori emphasizes that respect and responsibility are paramount: "They can live here forever, as long as they're doing what they're supposed to do, and being respectful and working hard. They can stay here as long as they want." This statement encapsulates her belief that support doesn’t come without expectations.
The notion of having significant others over is met with openness in Lori’s household: "This is their home, and they can have whoever they want over whenever they want, within reason, of course... I'm always prepared to have extra people for dinner if the kids want to have their friends over." This reflects an understanding of relational dynamics in young adulthood.
Lori highlights a more supportive approach to financial responsibilities with her adult children: "If they weren't working hard and saving their money... I might reconsider that one. But for now, I don’t have them pay any rent." This comment indicates her emphasis on fostering a productive and responsible environment.
