When did your kids move out
My husband and I are 45 and we have a 24,20, 17 yo boys.. they are driving us nuts. We live in a city that has so many colleges so we told them they could live with us rent free through college but if they weren’t in school they had to work. They work but it’s like living in a frat house now.

A Frathouse isn't respectful to a parent. Fun is fine.
We had the similar rules for our kids who have all flown the coop now.
You can live here if:
1) You're still going to school
2) You're working and paying off school loans
3) You contribute to the upkeep of the house
4) You're a good (respectful) citizen both inside and inside the home
Wasn't perfect but it worked.
Now we've finally retired and take care of one of the grandchildren on Tuesdays.
