54% of parents say there's no set time when adult kids need to leave

The latest 60 Minutes/Vanity fair poll asked an interesting question: Generally speaking, at what point do you think children are too old to be living at home with their parents? The surprising answer? Fifty-four percent of parents say there’s no set time when they should leave — not when they get married, graduate from college, or even get a full-time job. What about you — would you welcome your kids back home at any age, no matter their marital or employment situation? You can see the poll on the Vanity Fair website here.
