Are you a legal adult (at least 18 years old) and still living with your parents? Are you a parent of a legal adult that just can’t leave the nest? Do you have feelings about it? ...There's no doubt you do. With the major shifts in the US economy, many adults are finding themselves unable to move out of their parents home. Is it because they're bummish? Nah. For many of us the economy is just that bad. We sit and chat with ιαrεκiα Brown and discuss what it is like to live as an adult with the adults that raised you and tips to survive all the inevitable drama.
