There’s one question I’m often asked that I don’t really like to answer: How do I kick my adult kids out of the house. I don’t like to answer this question because my approach is about making the situation for families with adult children living at home work — not giving up and kicking the kids out. That said, I know sometimes it gets to a point where you really need to take action. So, in this video, I finally address this question. But keep in mind that the best course of action is to avoid getting to the point where you feel like you need to kick the kids out, which you can do by planning their stay well, being open in your communication, and signing a contract with each other that lays out the rules of there stay. With all that said, here’s the answer to how to get your adult children to leave home.

Kids at home? Do *they* think they're part of the "entitlement generation"?
Notable.ca, a site targeting young professionals in Canada, is running a survey asking members of “Gen X and Y” (though I suspect they expect to hear from Gen Y and the Millennials… Gen X is now into their 40s and even 50s) how they feel about being labelled the “entitlement generation,” including some questions that seem designed to tease out whether respondents actually engage in the behaviors typically mocked or scorned by columnists (and worried about by parents). If you’ve got adult kids at home, they might want to check out the survey at http://www.notable.ca/yp-life/Notableca-Survey-Are-we-the-Entitled-Generation/
