Compare Under One Roof Again by Susan Newman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

As nest eggs shrink, parents are moving in with their adult children and grandchildren in record numbers. Similarly, with jobs scarce and unemployment high, more and more adult children, be they recent college grads (77% of them in 2009) or on their own for a while, are returning home to their parents. Under One Roof Again squarely addresses the inevitable and sensitive issues-from money matters to boundaries-that arise when formerly parent-child relationships become adult-adult ones. Drawing on her own research with family members already living together and on academic studies, social psychologist Susan Newman, a leading authority in the family relationship and parenting fields, provides solid advice for avoiding the snags and building stronger family ties when family members rejoin each other for long or short time periods. | Under One Roof Again by Susan Newman, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
