Irish parents are generally happier to live with their adult children than their children are to live with them, and more content to see them stay, detailed new research [1] into domestic life and living arrangements has found.
According to the Central Statistics Office (CSO) the vast majority of adults (88 per cent) living with a parent said they would prefer to live apart, compared to just half of parents who felt the same.
More than a third of children (38 per cent) would not necessarily miss their parents either, yet 73 per cent of parents would.
Overall, some 57 per cent of those living with a parent enjoy the experience compared to 87 per cent of parents.
