GenXers seen to be getting it from both directions. As our parents age, we are bringing them back into the household and seems as if the kiddo's are not going to fly the coop as quickly as we might like. An extended nuclear family may not be such a bad thing if we sit back and think about it for just a bit... Crystal,

I even know people who were laid off and moved back in with parents or in-laws. Luckily, it's just so common I don't think people look down on others for living at home like before -- plus the added benefit of families working together, sharing the bills or mortgage, may be an awesome way for Americans to get out of this economic hole many of us are in.

I finished grad school in September 2009 and have been looking for a job ever since. Living anywhere else isn't really an option, especially if I need to move at a drop of a hat.
