ARTICLE: When the Fledglings Return to the Nest, By RON LIEBER, New York Times, July 10, 2009

Years from facing any such scenario, but frankly, I don't anticipate I would be against the notion of returning home. I love having my kids around and I would like to have them around for the rest of my life. There's always the fear of some undue dependency (either way), but it's not something I would fear--per se.

I would always want them to feel like they had a total "out" of any situation, in part because I'd never want them to make life decisions feeling trapped.
