It’s parents who may be doing the robbing, as many underestimate the readiness of their children to live on their own.

Skills coach: When Millennials live at home, it’s “robbery”

Recent polling shows a historical, and troubling, trend for millennials. More millennials (32 percent) live at home with their parents — the first time more live with their parents than with significant others since 1880. Financial hardship isn’t the only cost, as Kim Kardashian lived at home for a time. The trend is “robbery,” writes Jared Buckley, a millennial skills coach.

And it’s these millennials who are being affected by the robbery. “No matter what the reasons are, the decision is robbing Millennials of their transition into adulthood for further development. Millennials need to plan to move out and develop,” he writes. He also explains “Why Living at Home is Stealing Developmental Growth.”

Buckley is all about teaching hard but necessary lessons. His six-year-old daughter, who has Down Syndrome, was close to the edge of the pool, and so he pushed her in to assure she could get to the edge of the pool on her own.
