Geez, who knew that those once unique, but now irritating television commercials for the Dairy Council were hitting the nail on the head. Well not quite on the head, but yet something is happening to the normal progression of life in Canadian families.
Boomerang kids are all the rage it seems, children who have left home only to return a few short months later to camp out in the basement, sometimes for the better part of a decade.
A study compiled by Martin Turcotte for Statistics Canada finds that the folks don't mind their not so wee ones' anymore, coming back home for the cooking, laundry and television privileges they once took for granted.
The only problems that seem to crop up between parents and their boomerang kids are apparently financial ones and problems over the division of chores.
Hmm, the more things change, the more they stay the same!
