Both of my adult children moved back home and pay rent to me – here's what it's like being their landlord
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with 60-year-old Sheila Anderson, a retiree in Virginia whose adult children live at home with her and her husband.
In the final months of 2020 — one year after she graduated from college — doctors discovered a brain tumor in my now 25-year-old daughter Alicia just after she lost her job as a manufacturing engineer in southern Virginia. As her parents, we encouraged her to move back home to the Baltimore-area for better work opportunities, and so that doctors at Johns Hopkins Hospital could keep a close eye on her.
When my daughter first moved in, we thought we'd just see how things went with her health issues and job-hunting. She eventually found a job she could do remotely, and a few months after she was hired, my husband and I said,"OK, you've got to start paying rent." He was a couple weeks late on his first payment, but he still hasn't paid rent for February. I've already asked him about it, so now it's up to my husband to make sure he pays us before March.She has her own schedule for work, so we don't really see much of her during the day. I don't really have to worry about her when she goes out because she's not a teenager anymore. She's an adult, and as of now, she's recovered – what she does is her choice.
