It
used to be that parents or a parent in one’s golden years
When
dementia or physical limitations of mobility began to appear
Would
move in with the children to switch roles
Before
the last residence before the casket or urn, the nursing home as sickness and dementia took its toll
The
world has turned upside down with the Millenials burdened by student debt, unemployment and
rising apartment rents
Have
no choice but to by the forces of economic hardship back to the parents’ home
be sent
Will
they go back as adults seeking a temporary shelter
In
an economic world gone helter skelter?
Or
as long term children having to obey their parents’ rules
Losing
very quickly adult stand on your own two feet tools?
Will
be a field day of study for sociologists who studies of family dynamics
specialize
Especially
when the parents have already sold the family home to downsize
Or
worse from the millennials’ standpoint moved into a development where only
seniors may live
If
unable to move in and forced to find roommates to share bedrooms or into the
streets how combative
The
only way out of this mess
Without
major generational distress
Is
to get this economy growing to create jobs and more jobs
So
the millennials achieve dreams and for their parents the Golden Years are not
robbed.
