Until recently, they all lived at home.<\/p>\n<p>The 29-year-old and the 27-year-old men recently left, but a 21-year-old son is still under the family roof in Vancouver.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If history serves, he will probably be there another five years,&#8221; said Morgan. &#8220;Possibly another nine or 10.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Personally, I have no plans on having any of my children live with me past 18. This trend seems more like a poor parenting than young misfortune. If adult children know they can use their parents as a crutch, then many of them will take advantage of it.<\/p>\n<p>Adult children need to shed the &#8220;child&#8221; and learn to fend for themselves as adults. Otherwise, I think it&#8217;s fair to say that their parents didn&#8217;t prepare them to live as a true adult in society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CBC reports that adult children are living at home longer.
