JEREMY

Jeremy I think you have a lovely family and I loved the way that you respected them and they you. What does it matter if you still live at home I wish my kids were still here. You certainly pay your way and help your parents at home. My daughter recently met your Mum at a workshop in Sydney and recognised her from the show. We loved you and wish you all the best for the future. Don;t worry about the knockers and if you do move out I hope you find a good place. Home will always be home.

The Nest

Generally l feel the families need to be visited about 3 months after the end meeting. Lots of talking, not much doing. Anielka, who most people had a go at on here, was the only one who actually made a change that we saw. She signed a contract and we SAW her ask for the car and PAY for the car...l SAW the $50 she handed over. The Wilkinsons still living in limbo, didn't make a decision. Jeremy still at home and l didn't SEE him pay board or change. Start to finish, NOTHING CHANGED

Not really Leah - showed it is 'the money or' our lives, and that love w/o realistic boundaries harms

They do write it won't add up for solo housing. The housing shortfall means this market'd get even worse, but simplistically, group of adults can match a family's finances. Though perhaps only alluded to in airtime, as an intermediate stage the factsheets here have suggestions to consider for 'share-nesting'. Beyond the hidden financial burden, they've shown serious personal costs of kids & parents complacently not being independent. To grow, we have to often step out&so expand our comfort zone.

Leave young - more life to enjoy

Great training for those of us with small children - what not to do! Seems to me that it is so much easier to leave home early as you are used to low disposable income. Therefore as your income grows in your twenties you can save and live according to your means. Plus you get to learn and make your life mistakes while you are young and have time to correct yourself. The children don't realise how much they have yet to learn and their best years are running out. Get out there, learn and grow

Show is Biased?

I think this show focuses too much on the negatives of living with parents. Housing is very expensive. I know a friend who chooses to live in his van instead of living in any house. He saves a lot of money.

interesting show

Our family have watched all 6 episodes and now have some tools for our children re moving out and board etc I moved out of home at 17 and owned our home at 23. Hubby & I have always let our kids know this. We would love it for them to stay at home but after seing the parents have a life again (like pre Kids) this is what every parent needs. what a great show

An alternative solution

There is another way to make adult children independent - parents leave (together or separately) the family home in the possession (but not ownership) of the children. They learn how to run a place without being in an unfamiliar spot. The way to supplement any student income is to let the remaining bedroom (or rooms) to other students and live off the rent, while learning to live in a house-share. Parents sell house after the student children graduate. It works.

Well done Anielka!

Well done Anielka! What a Champion, you now show insight into your own situation and not only that, but have done so in full view of the public opening you up to scrutiny and judgement - which has been quite harsh. You have a fantastic future ahead of you and having started the journey of "looking inside yourself" this is an evolving process which many older adults still haven't worked out. Best of luck with your studies and future relationship with your parents.
