These returnees are often called “Boomerang Kids”.

While many parents want to welcome their kids home and provide assistance where applicable, there comes a time when it’s time for them to move out again, this time for good. Yet sometimes they don’t see it the same way.

What’s a parent to do? I don’t know, I don’t have personal experience with it. As a matter of fact, I have a teen who needs to stay home more rather than leave.

But, Life Two has a hilarious look at Top Ten Ways to Scare Your Boomerang Kid Out of the House. Maybe you can pick up a few pointers there.

Getting Boomerang Kids out of the house

Though the book isn’t required to enjoy, and, participate in the series, it comes highly recommended.

The first lesson, From Happy to Happier helps you explore what makes you happy, and, I’m glad to see they included something I constantly need reminding of, that “happiness is not a place or a destination, it’s a continuum”.

I just discovered this, so, I’m going to have to think on today’s lesson for a while, but, be sure to check out the other authors and bloggers participating:

Gretchen Rubin (Happiness Project)
Penelope Trunk (The Brazen Careerist)
Jed Diamond (MenAlive)
“Dating Goddess” (The Dating Goddess)
Rhea Becker (Boomer Chronicles)
Nicolette Beard (Man-o-Pause)
Jackie Silver (AgingBackwards)

What makes you happy?
