If you’re faced with the frustration of dealing with adult children living at home — or kids who never left home — even though they are in their late 20s, 30s, or even 40s, you need to know you’re not alone . You may need a contract for adult children living at home.
The truth is nearly 25 million adult children are living in a home with their parents in the U.S. alone.
A recent Canadian census released in September 2012 showed that, of kids aged 20 to 29, over 42% live with their parents!
While it’s nice to think that families with adult children living at home can always get along like they do on TV, the fact is that having adult children return home — also called boomerang kids — can put a ton of stress on you and your partner, especially if you don’t have a contract for adult children living at home that lays out house rules for them — and you!.
The impact can include…
As if these very real problems aren’t enough, you also need to make sure that you…
One Canadian study found that couples who had kids back under their roof were 10% more likely to suffer through arguments than couples living in an empty nest.
It can be confusing: they are your children, after all, but they’re not kids. What rules apply? Do you charge rent? Do they have curfews?
And — if it comes to it — how do you kick out your own son or daughter?
Even more challenging are the so-called “boomerang kids,” adult children who return to live in the family home after already leaving once (or more)!
But as tough as it can be, there are families that make it work. The best way to follow in their footsteps is to…
As an adult who has successfully lived with my parents after leaving home — twice — I’ve learned a few key strategies.
I’ve taken these winning strategies — along with a few mistakes — and combined them with proven communication tools and in-depth research to develop this step-by-step guide to surviving (and thriving!) when your child returns.
I’ve been able to offer practical advice to the thousands of parents who have read my book and used my suggestions to improve their relationships with their adult children.
Plus, I’ve also reached tens of thousands more parents like you through interviews with media outlets around the world covering the growing issue of adult children who have returned home.
But as much media coverage as this issue has received, most parents need more help navigating this new territory.
They also need the tools they can customize to their specific circumstances. I’ll get back to these customizable tools — including a contract for adult children living at home — and why they make such a difference in a minute, but first I want to tell you that…
Admitting you need a bit of help doesn’t mean you’re not a great parent.
In fact, it’s a sign that you are a caring parent, who wants only the best for your grown son or daughter who’s come back home to live.
The truth is, having adult children living under your roof isn’t the same as dealing with them when they were kids.
In fact, treating them the same way you used to is almost a guaranteed way of causing more problems than you solve, even with the best intentions!
You see, all of the professionals agree that to successfully cope with boomerang kids who come back home, you need to renegotiate your relationship.
This isn’t an easy thing to do!
My guide shares proven tips to make renegotiating your relationship easier, including…
After all, you love them and want to help.
However, sometimes too much help is dangerous, so you must…
Even if you get along fine with your grown kids, many parents make the fatal mistake of giving too much, even to the point of jeopardizing their own hard-won financial security !
Plus, you may not be doing your adult children any favors…
A new survey indicates the percentage of people who purchase their own homes while in their 30s increases with age of departure from the parental home until about age 25 — then it drops.
After age 28, their chances of becoming homeowners are no better than children who fly the coop at 16.
Sometimes, your grown kids may be living with you while they launch their career, save for a house, or build for their future.
But if they’ve come back home because of personal or health reasons you need tools to help you…
Reality Check: If you or other family members in the home feel threatened by an adult child living at home, you have to take this seriously! You have a right to your own safety and security!
That’s why I’ve included advice on…
Even without these challenging circumstances, every situation is unique.
For kids returning home after years away, there’s often the added complexity of having them bring along their partner, spouse, and even kids of their own!
That’s why The Hands-on Guide To Surviving Adult Children Living at Home includes tips on…
Just a couple of tips from this practical, hands-on eBook could save you another sleepless night, help avoid one more pointless argument with your partner or child, and actually improve your relationship with your kid!

"This book was a life saver when one of my children moved back in, after being gone for 13 yrs. It gave me great and workable ideas, which I implimented and they worked. Once in place my angry was diffused and we had a great working relationship. This child stayed with us for 1 year and 10 months and just recently move out. All on good terms. :) Highly recomment. "
"She offered clear and honest ideas for both parties to work on to make the stay as successful as possible. Christina Newberry hit on many important key points of having adult children living at home, such as the financial impact it has on parents nearing or at retirement, parents offering a comfortable environment with amenities so young adults are reluctant to leave, etc. It was very unbiased, so if parents are divided on how they feel, it has quite a fair outlook on the situation."
"Bought your book online yesterday. Finished it today. Have reason for renewed hope on several fronts. Thank you. I think your message and your book are on the spot."
"I found all of the information very helpful and may have just saved my relationship with my husband. I have set up a list of house rules that we all discussed and amended as we each saw fit and a weekly chore sheet.
I have to say it is incredibly harmonious in our household since introducing the changes - long may it continue. Thank you once again."
"Thanks for your sage advice on the show. You were terrific."
~ Pattie Lovett-Reid, Host of the Pattie Lovett-Reid Show
"Very well thought out material that made it easy to create a starting point for conversation and problem solving."
"I can't tell you how much we are appreciating your well though- out easy to use guidelines and contract agreement.
"Keep up your great work. You are a godsend."
"I'm a psychologist specializing in work with young adults and their families. I will definitely be referring people to your site, and will encourage them to get the book."
"I sure like some of these rules!"
~ John Tory, NewsTalk 1010 (Toronto, Canada)
"I found your information invaluable helping to put some boundaries and rules in place for when my adult child and his family move in.
Some times when it is family it is very hard to step back and take an objective perspective of a family crisis like your child having problems and needing your help with out it making your relationship worse.
After reading both your report and the book I feel equiped to make things alittle easier for both of us ."
"Just read a bit about your book--very timely and supportive to lots of moms enduring this transition. I'm Referring it!"
