Regrouping at the parental home : a grounded theory of female adult children's experiences of returning home to livePaseluikho, Michele A. 05 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this qualitative research study was to
describe female adult children's experiences when they return
to the parental home to live, and to develop theory to explain
the processes and consequences involved in the return to the
parental home. Primary data sources included 1 1/2 hour
audiotaped, semi-structured interviews with 15 female adult
children who had returned to the parental home to live. Other
sources of data included individual and conjoint interviews
with parents and daughters from a subset of four families, and
field notes about the interviews.
Grounded theory methodology (Strauss & Corbin, 1990,
1998) was used. Transcribed interviews were systematically
analyzed to develop a theoretical model, in which the core
social and psychological process was labelled "regrouping." In
response to life events and personal choices, women return to
the parental home to regroup--to recuperate, reenergize,
contemplate and pursue lifeplans. Their intention is to
enhance personal well-being and to secure a better quality
life in the future. Regrouping is embedded in the life context
of female adult children's specific life-events and choices,
living environments, family and social relationships, and
sociocultural scripts -- all conditions that can hinder or
facilitate the process. Regrouping is a cyclical rather than a
linear process. Female adult children who had returned to the
parental home did not experience a simple, uncomplicated
linear forward movement towards attaining valued personal
goals. Rather, they experienced an oscillating pattern of
“faltering” and "advancing" in their efforts to realize valued
goals. This experience has implications for the development of
a fluctuating sense of self or self-image, the fulfilment of
personal goals, the quality of the experience as positive or
negative, and for family relations.
The contribution of the theoretical model to the
literature is the discovery that returning home in adulthood
may be a strategy for managing change and transition in one's
life and for attaining certain lifespan development tasks
(e.g., individuating from parents, establishing a career, and
attaining financial security). Implications for counselling
practice, and the self-help needs of adults who have returned
home to live are noted. Suggestions for facilitating returning
adult children's personal development (i.e., clarifying
personal goals, weighing the pros and cons of returning and
remaining at the parental home, maintaining self-esteem,
seeking social support) and facilitating family relations .
(i.e, having realistic expectations of parents, being
sensitive to mothers, negotiating privacy and boundaries,
managing cross-cultural dynamics) are discussed. It is
suggested that future research extend the application of the
theory to men, as well as more diverse ethnic groups.

Aging parents of adult children with acquired brain injury : future needPilon-McDonald, Lucille. January 2000 (has links)
This thesis explores the experiences of aging parents caring for adult children with acquired brain injury regarding future care needs. Seven parents representing four adult disabled children, were individually interviewed using the Family Support and Coping Interview. The parents then participated in three groups sessions to discuss the commonality of 'never-ending' parenthood. The parents, who average 70.9 years of age, have been sole caregivers for middle-aged children. Their displaced life cycle responsibilities, their vision of a solution and the need to socially publicize their predicament were major themes requiring advocacy with policy makers and government funders. Research into the care of those who cannot manage independent living is imperative, particularly as social thinking and fiscal policies espouse the benefits of the autonomous family.

Examining Generational and Gender Differences in Parent-Young Adult Child Relationships During Co-residenceFerguson, Lauren Elizabeth 10 June 2016 (has links)
Young adults of the twenty-first century face a long path to adulthood marked by uncertainty and lack of stability. In response, young adults are heading back to or failing to leave their family homes in higher numbers than generations before (Jacobsen and Mather 2011; Qian 2012). These macro-level trends bring about questions about their impact on family relationships as well as how these relationships have evolved over time. My thesis investigates parent-child relationships during co-residence with a specific focus on generation and gender differences. Through secondary data analysis of the National Survey of Families and Households, I explore how parent-child relationships during co-residence differ between parents of Generation Xer young adults (born between 1965-1980) and Millennial young adults (born between 1981-1996). Additionally, I examine gender differences between these two generational cohorts. My findings offer support that intergenerational relationships are not necessary closer, but look different for parents of Millennials as compared to Generation Xers. I also find that there are significant gender differences between mothers and fathers of Generation Xers versus those of Millennials. I find that mothers of Generation Xers report more time shared with co-residing young adults and increased frequency of perceived emotional support from their child than fathers; yet, fathers of Millennials report more perceived support than mothers. I suggest these findings offer support for the notion that gendered roles play out into young adulthood and potentially have more flexibility for fathers across time. As the economic and social landscape continues to change and present more uncertainty, family relationships become a form of social security; thus it becomes increasingly important to understand these dynamics. My findings are significant as they contribute to a better understanding of parent-child relationships over time and offer discussion on the potential implications.
