From Empty Nest to Reclaimed Home
More about your adult children leaving the home than it is about them coming back, this page offers tips on finding new passions, remodeling, and more. However, the article also reminds readers that part of dealing with an empty nest is preparing for the possibility of a boomerang child.
Household Chores Worksheet
When your adult child moves back home, it's important to establish roles and responsibilities around the house. If you expect your child to be an active part of the household, use this worksheet to divvy up various chores—and to identify how often they're to be done.
AARP.org's For Grandparents channel
Maybe your boomerang kid has brought your grandchild to live with you as well. AARP.org's For Grandparents section provides helpful resources and identifies plenty of activities for grandparents and grandkids who suddenly have more opportunities to do things together.
