Children velcro Nearly 20% of Quebecers of 25 years and over live in dad-mum. But who should do the FREE1? Michèle explodes. "I had until then", she said, placing his hand six inches above his head. Last year, 27-year-old son, two trays in poche2, and a current maitrise3, returned to the bercail4. Once again! "It was his third return, says this mother of Montreal. The scenario is always the same: never question from washing a plate or paying the lesser sou5. One morning, I dared to pronounce the word "pension6". The next day, it moved at a buddy. He me boudee7 for three months. Do we really need to heberger8 our children until they reach 60 years?" We know all of young adults who live with their parents. Education that extends, scarcity of jobs, debts of studies, the reasons for incruster9 are multiple... "The fridge is full, the car is at the gate and the blonde10 in the bed. They are fatty dur11, diagnostic Michèle. Why would leave?" Nearly 20% of Quebecers of 25 years and over live in dad-mum, genuine Velcro which do decollent12 more or boomerangs which does is envolent13 to return. Seven percent are still in 30 years. "Yesterday, their case seemed almost pathological. Today, the company has become to the idea", said Marc Molgat, researcher at the Observatory youth and society of INRS. The company may, but not necessarily the young persons concerned. Almost all of the witnesses requested for this report demanded anonymity. Some have even refused to grant an interview. "Admit that you live with your parents in 30 years, this is not so much winner", was I told. If this trend is the hausse14 for the past 20 years, the number of fathers and mothers the verge of nerves is also. "We receive more calls on this topic, said Marie-France Beaudoin, moderator assistance-parents, in Quebec City. Many parents feel that they have failed in their role as educators. They are discouraged." And financially frustrated. Dear small have never been so well named. Grocery bills salted (especially whether to also feed the lovers and pals), telephone and electricity high marks... Prolonged cohabitation has a price. But who should do the costs? The question is bondir15 Marie-Eve, age 25, of Lévis, who ends his bac, works part time, lives with her parents and just paid comptant16 his new car. "My parents chose me. To them of assumer17." Name of the law? Certainly not. Nothing obliges parents to provide the gite18 to their 18-year-old child, explains Dominique Goubau, who teaches family law at Université Laval. "There exists an obligation, but the judges are far from grant it automatically." By setting the majority at 18 years, we have decided, as a society, that a young person is in principle capable of taking main19 at this age there. It is therefore normal that it does so." The right has all the answers. "Some children are their parents. But, for fear of rejection, by love or pity, fathers and mothers are also operate", said Constance root, Coordinator of the House of the family of Quebec. Sylvie Bourassa, budget Advisor Option consommateurs, sees many parents in arracher20 to if offer a few days holiday per year for that their young adult saves for future travel. "Too many young people is imaginent21 that everything is from 22." Parents should never feel fautifs23 of exiger24 a contribution25. Even if it is symbolic quepurement." The miracle equation does not exist, says the Adviser. "If young is a student and works part-time, a sum of $ 100 per month to cover all of the expenses may be reasonable. If he works full time, a sharing of expenses equal or the wages of each prorata26 is envisageable27. I've seen cases where parents and child were "part shelf" in the fridge, as roommates. The range of possibilities is infinite." According to a survey conducted in 1999 among 2,000 adults from 19 to 35 years in the greater Vancouver area, one third of children aged 25 and over who reside with their parents versent28 a monthly pension average $ 450 ($ 520 for girls, 425 dollars for boys!). "In some cases, parents prefer that their child saves to be able to go faster," said Barbara Mitchell, co-author of the survey. Assurer29 the livelihoods of its oisillons30 longer is also a matter of culture. The trend actuelle31 brings closer us to some countries of the South of Europe, where two-thirds of the children still live at home after 25 years. Joanna, whose father is of Greek origin, is a party at age 29. "I ended up needing my space, but my presence was normal for my parents. I had to worry about anything, the invoices were paid and my mother saw at all. It was a little like living even in adolescence. And I was attending. "Difficult, therefore, to pay..." Cleaning, washing, lawn maintenance or errands to run, the tasks are not lacking in a House. Studies or not, money or not, the principle of sharing must remain sacred, contends Valerie Wiener, author of The Nesting Syndrome - Grown Children Living at Home (the 'rest - in nest' syndrome: adult children living at home), published in 1997 by Fairview Press, to the United States, where the situation is also endemique32. "It is giving, donnant33." If parents were not there, children should be debrouiller34. They live at home? The least things is that they follow the rules of the House and assume their share of responsibility." Another key element of understanding, according to Valérie Wiener: the moment of departure must absolutely be fixed. "When the tray will be completed or when the first job will be awarded, regardless. The main thing is that everyone knows what to keep. Left to re-evaluate things the time has come. The flou35 is uncomfortable for everyone." Young people the more refractaires36 to any form of sharing are generally those who have never left home, observes Marie-France Beaudoin, of mutual assistance-Parents. "Boomerangs are more aware of the cost of living." At age 23, Michael Lo réatterrissait with his parents in Laval, after a hard breakup. Party teen - he was then 17-, it was adult. "Offer to contribute to the expenses ranged from soi37", says the young worker, that is, four years later, return to live in an apartment. It provides so $ 60 per week, pay telephone, cable and Internet subscription. When purchasing an item that will benefit all the household - a toaster, for example-, it subtracts it from his pension. "I had some important legal fees to settle for custody of my daughter, he said. With me, my parents allowed me to get through." Marie-Hélène, a lecturer of 29 years old living in Montreal, also found normal to participate at the expense of the House when she returned with his mother at age 26, after a rupture38: $ 250 per month for rent, more a third of the phone and the grocery store. "I should have debourser39 at least as much shared,3evaluates. Thus, I felt less to live in hooks maman40." When he is provided for the umpteenth time under the nose that his elders dreamed to flee the home, she sourcille even more. "Yesterday, the peace and love children could hardly coexist with Catholic values of parents." The times have changed. My mother and I live in the same way. Means very well. I had no reason to leave." Let's face, advises Marc Molgat, InRS. "The parent-child relationship is more based on a relationship of authority as before. "Suddenly, young people feel less urgency to be affranchir41." In surveys, most young adults justify through their presence and also with their parents by economic motives. The sous42 however do not explain everything, believes Barbara Mitchell. "Most could get otherwise, living room or more in housing, for example. But they should change their lifestyle. For some, the pressures of consumer society are stronger than the thirst of independence." They want to ensure their arrears, nuance Marc Molgat. "When we look at the rate of poverty among young people, you cannot blame them." The researcher admits however that some statistics would need to be examined: "twice as many boys as girls live at the family home after the age of 25 years. Why?' Either parents provide today longer of their youth. But a return of the pendulum is not excluded. "The maintenance obligation applies in both directions, recalls lawyer Dominique Goubau. We begin to see more and more elderly parents require the support of their children. "I brought you live, they say." It is now your turn!
