The Nest is a series that explores the phenomenon (called Peter-pan-demonium) of adult children living with their parents [ [http://www.smh.com.au/news/tv--radio/home-and-hosed/2008/06/21/1214009165188.html Sydney Morning Herald Home and Hosed] ] .
The program offers insight into what a family means in this day and age [ [http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,23915335-5003422,00.html Courier Mail Series traces secret life of KIPPERS] ] .
The objective is to understand who will cope with change, and who won’t? Will they continue to live as independent adults, or will they revert to old habits?
Throughout the series, a financial expert and a relationship expert provide the families with guidance, support.
By encouraging families to weigh up the pros and cons of adult children living at home, and allowing them to draw their own conclusions, the series offers families space to move forwards in a way which works for them.
Questions raised by series
# Do parents still have a working relationship when their children leave home? Do they stay together? Do they break up? Do they become depressed?
# What exactly are the financial pressures facing Gen Y which Baby Boomers didn't have to face, and are these genuine reasons to stay at home longer?
# Will today’s young adults ever be able to change? Is staying at home a symptom of avoiding responsibility and commitment altogether?
# By eating into their parent’s wealth for longer, are young adults affecting the retirement plans of their parents?
# Is it possible parents are killing their kids with kindness and sending them unrealistic notions of what it's like to bean adult?
# What do financial experts say about it? What do relationship experts say about it? What does Gen Y say about it? What do baby boomers say about it?
Criticism
The Nest has attracted a degree of criticism for the grating and glib style of the relationship and financial experts.
