Research Guide

1-I already know that this is a growing trend in today's society that seems to be putting stress on parents.
2-My assumptions are that I think that kids are not being as responsible as they once were or a responsible as our society needs, so my position is that we need to encourage them to take the dive out of the nest and not depend on mommy and daddy anymore. This is how most of us do it and we all survive, gaining a lot of growth in the process. We need a stronger generation.
3-My questions about the issue are what percentage of parents really mind having them there, and what ones actually enjoy having them back. Also, does living with their parents really prevent them from eventually gaining responsibility or do they still end up being well rounded, contributing adults.
4-Others interested in this issue are kids thinking about moving back home, parents who are faced with this decision, and maybe employers of kids living with their parents. It may show something about their work ethic.
5-People hear, read, or talk about this issue in the newspapers or news, or hear about if from others who are experiencing this issue. We don't hear a lot about it yet, but probably will as time goes on.
6-I think parents and kids are at stake here, as well as our society. They could all suffer from our next generation not stepping up to the plate and being adults. Our future is in the their hands. However, maybe it makes it so kids keep from living on their own and partying, and makes them learn more things from their parents about adult life. Maybe they would be better citizens from being more mature as they live with and learn from their parents. I do think grandchildren could benefit because they would have extra love from more people in their life. Maybe the young moms wouldn't suffer as much from depression because they have a little help and company from their family while their husband is often gone a lot at this beginning stage of a career.
7-I think we are still defining whether this is a real problem or not in this society. In other cultures they do this often, are actually encouraged to live with and take care of parents and it seems to work for them. Does that mean it works in this nation? I'm not sure yet.
8-There are quite a few articles on the internet. I know a primary source I can use and a book as well.
9-Yes, My husband has a co-worker who has been complaining how his mother-n law getting taken advantage of by her children that have moved in with her so I thought I could interview him...maybe the mother too?
10-I plan to have all my research done by next thursday so I can start compiling and putting together the outline.
