Discussion Thread: Coresidence

Boomerang and failure-to-launch are key terms used to describe young adults living at home. Boomerang has been connected to young adults who left home for a period only to return. This return could be for several reasons, including but not limited to continued education, divorce, or loss or lack of employment. Failure-to-launch is connected to young adults who have never left home. Both types of young adults benefit from the comfort of their parents homes, but their return or delay has a negative and some positive outcomes.

Discuss research on young adults still living at home. This phenomenon is proposed to be a result of many different reasons. Upon reading Is Coresidence is not a failure to launch or boomerang children (Evans et al., 2021), discuss the impact of coresidence with parents. As part of your discussion, provide two examples of how both young adults and their parents are impacted by coresidence (two examples for young adults, two examples for parents).

Please also create a discussion response generic in nature that I can adapt personally to a response. Both the initial discussion and response should have two legitimate sources.
