101 Ways to Get Your Adult Children to Move Out [Paperback]

Rich Melheim (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: January 1, 1996

A screamingly funny how-to guide for parents of "boomerang children"--those overgrown fledglings who just won't leave the nest--this book uses reverse psychology to empty the nest. The ingenious strategies included range from "Subtle Hints" to "General Annoyances" to drastic measures to be taken "If All Else Fails."

5.0 out of 5 stars Sure-fire advice for clearing the house of offspring!, December 2, 2001

This review is from: 101 Ways to Get Your Adult Children to Move Out (Paperback)

Rich Melheim was a pastor at my church. My parents bought me this book (I have a signed copy!) and I took the hint! I haven't moved back home since... The illustrations are campy and humorous, the sugestions border on and often exceed the ludicrous, however these snippets of wisdom are a guaranteed recipe for success when it comes to ousting offspring that have over stayed their welcome (i.e. they now make more money than you). The advice also works well on house guest. One word of cautions: excercising the most extreme of these measures may result in extensive and costly therapy for your children!

I was looking for a serious book about adult children, this isn't it. Its a cute book, but really doesn't solve this particular problem. Thankfully, it was under $5.00, I read it and then threw it in the trash.
