And, no, that hopefully won't happen that they'll be back in the house after college. They should start looking at jobs after college during their last semester, ideally, or since the beginning of their senior year. If they do get jobs while in college I might take away their pay once, as I said on the RMB, just to show them that money isn't the thing they should focus on and just because they have a job they shouldn't feel too cocky about themselves having pocket change and think they can do what they want because of it. I can still reserve the right to threaten and kick them out of the house if they do start getting too cocky with money, as well, but I'd rather not resort to the ol' "I'll kick you out and you won't be shit out there, you and I know it" tactic.
Heh, cultural norms at work here, I think. I've said it to Ethel before that there's a lot of similarities between the Jewish stereotype and actual Irish family settings, my poor single friends back north are having to date the "oh yeah, I still live at home" types like it's a normal thing at 35.
If people are still living at home at 35, and it's not because they have sick relatives that they need to look after, something is wrong.
