“Boomerang Kids” driving parents nuts

Yet another reason we’re going to change the locks and convert our kid’s room into a den the day they graduate college:

“Boomerang kids” who treat the family home like a free hotel are driving their parents to distraction, a leading British charity has warned.

Lifestyle clashes abound — from piles of laundry and mounds of debt to drug and alcohol abuse — with one parent complaining “our home became a war ground of constant arguments.”

Parents seem to seesaw between frustration about their children still living at home and feeling that at least they are happy and safe.
