Summary

This week we finish up our discussion from last week about dealing with adolescents after they finish high school. Many young adults live at home at least for some period of time after they have reached adulthood. What are the best ways to deal with conflicts that might arise? Are parents required to let their adult children stay in their home if they need it? What about uncomfortable questions about an adult kid who wants his boy/girlfriend to sleep over? A very relevant and down-to-earth discussion. Got questions or feedback? We want to hear from you!

0:00.0	Welcome back to Feeding the Mouth That Bites You, a weekly podcast guide on parenting teens
0:06.0	and launching them into the world. I'm Jessica Pfeiffer, and as always, I'm joined by
0:10.9	psychologist and author, Dr. Ken Wilgis. Today's episode is part two of the finish line. Listen in.
0:18.4	Okay, so Dr. Ken, a lot of this is going to be the same answers for someone who might
0:25.5	have a graduate living at home. Either they're working or maybe they're going to, you know,
0:31.4	a local college. So that, so much of what we said already is going to transition to be
0:37.3	the same thing for living at home.
0:38.9	But there are some things that are added to the dynamics when you have what is an adult living in
0:45.6	your home who hasn't transitioned to, you know, it's they're living in the same space they've
0:53.3	always lived in. So sometimes it's
0:54.6	easy to let those same rules follow. Like, okay, you have chores. So here, here's your chore list.
1:00.0	And this is what I expect you to get done. And here's your allowance and that sort of thing that maybe

1:08.4	kid that's graduated? So I don't know if you remember but in
1:12.1	2018 you and i may have talked about it a long time ago there was a new york state supreme
1:18.4	court case about a guy named michael rotondo who was like i think it was like 30 years old
1:26.4	still living with his parents, and they had to
1:29.7	petition the courts to get him kicked out.
1:33.2	His own parents were having to get legally sanctioned for him to leave their home.
1:40.5	That's terrible.
1:41.5	Well, it was terrible because, I mean, the poor guy, Michael, obviously was completely ridiculed.
