Graduating from college is a major milestone—for both your child and you.

But as many families discover, the next step often comes with an unexpected twist: your college grad is moving back home for the summer…or longer.

In fact, more than half of young adults in the U.S. now live with their parents, according to Pew Research—marking a trend not seen since the Great Depression.

That growing reality recently made headlines when a 27-year-old Jeopardy! contestant introduced himself as a “stay-at-home son.” Brendan Liaw, a master’s graduate preparing for law school, lives with his parents and jokingly embraced the label on national TV. His self-aware humor in the “stay-at-home son” Jeopardy story struck a chord with many families navigating this same season.

Whether your grad is job-hunting, starting their first full-time job, or just regrouping after a whirlwind senior year, having a grown child back under your roof can be both a joy and a challenge.

Some grads come home with a job lined up. Others are still figuring out next steps.

Regardless of their situation, setting clear expectations and structure will help everyone feel more comfortable—and prevent old tensions from resurfacing.
