Help I Have an Adult Child!

Welcome everyone! I hope this post finds you all well!  This week we are getting something special, two articles!  I’m posting today’s a little earlier than usual and then I will have the second article up on Friday. 

Cindy O’Donnell is the author of this week’s article and she really brings some light to a timely topic.  As of recent years this has become more of a phenomenon.  More than likely, you know of someone (or are this person yourself) who has a 20 something, still living at home.  Cindy does a great job of explaining how parents can best handle their situation while maintaining a healthy relationship with their child.  Here is what Cindy has to say:

Client:  My kid doesn’t do anything around the house.  They have no job, they are out all the time and I am left footing the bill for everything.  Why are they not more responsible and when will they start to chip in and help? 
Me:  How old is your child?
Client: 26

This may sound like a start to a good joke but the reality is that this is a question I get quite often.
