Moving in with your children

We've heard a lot the past few years about adult kids moving in with their parents -- or, more often, never quite leaving the nest. But our current economic woes have created a twist on that. According to this story from USA Today, parents are moving in with their children.

And they're not just elderly parents -- the number of adults under 65 who joined households headed by another adult was up by 75 percent from 2000 to 2007, according to the story.

The piece points out that this means "helicopter parents" can now hover for life. What do you think?
