Perhaps we just all got used to the world that we inhabited prior to the recent economy/job losses duo.Backed up by film tv soaps //I think here about Friends .
In my country many couples looked after aging parents..Many young people did not get married until a house was available to rent or stayed in the best room as lodgers within family here.until a downpayment was saved.Often moving to jobs where housing was a part of the deal..eg farming.. police... armed forces in order to marry...
in bygone days I note during geneaology research that once widowed the remaining parent was resident in a daughter or sons home.might be economic or infirmity but it is a repeating pattern.. house purchase is difficult for low wage earners so this may also be a factor. adult family who never married stayed home becoming in turn carers.I can think of several older people in that catagory from church...lovely people of both genders

My two youngest girls are back home living with us Dotsie. They both have decent jobs but it's just so tough for them to go out on their own..the rents are so high..and although they both make what I would consider decent salaries they get killed on their taxes..my youngest daughter travels alot in her position so she isn't around very much..renting an apartment in her case would be a waste of money in my opinion...but the older girl is dying to have her own place...I'd love to help...but the best I can do right now is let her live here rent free while she saves as much as she can...boy would I love to win the lottery!!!!

JJ..great to be back talking to you as well..:)
I am so in agreement with you about the "supplies"..and having 2 girls back..add to the list..nail polish remover..as in "MOOOOOOMMMM..my nail just chipped..where did you put "MY" nail polish remover?" laundry detergent, hair spray, hair masque, lip gloss, body lotion, foot lotion, hand lotion, and the list goes on and on...somehow they believe these items have all slipped into the "Board" section of the free Room and Board clause...I could complain but....someday I'll be wishing for these days back...so I'll just suck it up and keep replenishing said supplies..LOL
