'Cuckoo in the Nest: 28 and back with mum and dad' by Nat Luurtsema (Hodder & Stoughton) is a 20-something's account of moving back home. Nat is a gimlet-eyed stand-up comic and some of the domestic detail is blush-makingly familiar. But it's always good to see the other side. The chances are that it's harder for them than it is for you.
Ultimately it's positive; Nat reckons the experience made her relationship with her parents more equal. That's what I like to think too...
But perhaps that's because she was only back home for a matter of months.... unlike so many Boomerang kids. Not sure my Adam and Alice feel as positive about being back with mum n dad post uni...
