Adult Child still living at home?
Contract for an Adult Child
• Has your adult child recently moved back home (or never left)?
• Is your adult child taking full advantage of living at home?
• Are you looking for a simple way to set limits and to enforce rules?
The joys of having an adult child living at home can be short-lived if potential issues aren't dealt with before they become more serious.
Welcoming an adult child back home is a major decision—one that comes with both opportunities and potential challenges. While the idea of having extra help around the house may sound appealing, the reality often includes financial strain, reduced privacy, added stress, and disagreements over day-to-day responsibilities.
So how can parents protect their household, set clear expectations, and avoid unnecessary conflict?
A behavior contract can help to establish rules
and expectations for your adult child!
A behavior contract provides a structured, straightforward solution. It clearly outlines the rules, responsibilities, and conditions your adult child must meet in order to maintain the privilege of living at home. Put simply: follow the agreement—or make other living arrangements.
This comprehensive contract addresses common points of tension, including:
-
Financial Responsibilities
-
Household Chores
-
Substance Use
-
Use of Vehicle/Parking
-
Guests/Visitors
-
Employment/Education Expectations
-
Children/Pets

Shared Resources

"I had no idea how difficult it would be to have my adult son living at home...until he actually moved back. Things were smooth at first but then the issues began to pile up. I was so frustrated with his disregard for my rules and with his overall lack of effort around the house. This behavior contract has turned things around! I'm so glad I found this site!"
