The Launch Protocol

A complete household structure for adult children still under your roof — covering rent, chores, privacy, and visible progress.

Description:
When your child moved back home — or never quite moved out — you probably didn't think you'd still be sharing a kitchen years later. Neither did they.
An adult child living at home is not a houseguest, not a teenager, and not a tenant. They're a fourth thing — and that fourth thing needs its own rules. Without them, resentment builds on both sides. With them, the arrangement can actually work — not as a permanent solution, but as a launchpad that has a structure and a horizon.
For parents who love having their adult child around but know the arrangement needs to change.

What's Inside:

• The six components every living-at-home agreement needs
• How to set financial contribution — three approaches that work
• The chore conversation done specifically, not vaguely
• Privacy and space — for your child and for you
• Guest and partner policies that prevent the most common breakdowns
• How to make progress toward independence visible month by month
• Three worksheets: the Six-Component Builder, the Monthly Check-In Sheet, and the signed Household Agreement

Write the rules once. Live them quietly.
