[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 742884, member: 18516"] I understand that strict time limits may not work for everyone but everyone has their own set of circumstances. There is not one size fits all when it comes to dealing with adult children that are not being responsible with their lives. Elsi says it perfectly here. I also know that if you do not give a specific time frame it leaves to much open on the other end, which for some parents has turned into months and years of their adult child living in their home and sponging off of them. My very dear neighbors experienced this with their own son. The continued to enable him, even to the point they were paying his child support payments. They kept refinancing their house to get money. In the end, after being in their home for 25 years they were foreclosed on. They now live in their motor home and low and behold, their son has had to figure out life for himself. No parent should risk losing their home or what they have saved for retirement to try and help an adult child that should be doing for themselves. [/QUOTE]
