Redefining American Adulthood






How can one be an adult in their parents' home? Here's a few ideas:

  • Adults don't have to be reminded to clean their room.
  • Adults can naturally help out with the dishes.
  • An adult cleans the garage because it has to be done
  • An adult doesn't wake their parents at 3am.
  • An adult never returns home without bringing something home for mom and/or dad.
  • An adult always considers their parents in financial decisions.
  • An adult does not make decisions that would effect their parents or their home.
  • An adult knows how to keep home life and social life separate.
  • An adult takes care of their parents as much as the parents take care of them.
  • An adult understands and accepts the changing times.
  • An adult stops acknowledging cohorts who live alone but refuse to grow up.


Who says you have to have your own place to be grown up?
