The Nesting Syndrome: Grown Children at Home - Softcover

Parents across the nation are experiencing a social phenomenon that has spread with surprising breadth and swiftness since the late 1980s: adult children who return home to live with their parents after brief or extended excursions into independent living. Similarly, many parents are having to cater to adult children who won't leave until their expectations for "the good life" are guaranteed. Valerie Wiener calls these grown children "nesters." Her book addresses this widespread phenomenon with timely information and helpful advice. Featuring comments from parents and their nesting children, The Nesting Syndrome presents all aspects of this difficult issue in a non-judgmental way.
