full nester noun [C]
UK /ˈfʊl ˌnes.təʳ/ US /ˈfʊl ˌnes.tɚ/
someone whose adult children are still living at home
To cope with the additional cost of having their adult children living at home for longer, the report finds that full nesters are making greater financial sacrifices than empty nesters across the board, with some putting their own financial future at risk … A third of full nesters report that they are contributing less to their savings, while more than one in four are spending their savings to meet the cost of everyday living.

trad son noun [C]
/ˈtræd ˌsʌn/
an adult male who lives at home with his parents and does tasks such as housework and gardening in return for free accommodation
A “trad son” is a term that has emerged from social media to describe a young man — usually in his 20s or 30s — who lives at home with his parents, often without working full-time or contributing financially, while embracing a domestic lifestyle. Unlike traditional expectations of adulthood, trad sons prioritize comfort, convenience and household responsibilities.

grad annexe noun [C]
UK /ˈgræd ˌæn.ɪks/ US /ˈgræd ˌæn.ɪks/
a self‑contained living space for a young adult, located on the same property as their parents’ home, which provides free or low‑cost accommodation
Chloe Combi, author of the book Generation Z: Their Voices, Their Lives, says she has seen a huge spike in garden cabins and annexes, including “parents building granny flats that no longer house grannies but their twentysomething and soon thirtysomething kids”. These so-called grad annexes are a notable trend as “the cost of living crisis deepens and house rental and ownership becomes less viable for Gen Z”.

hope we win
Thanks
sure=))
Living with our parents its very nice and kind thing we do.
In India its inherent in culture to live with parents cuz parents can sacrifice everything for their children. For them nothing matters more than their children.
But if we look at our surrounding what’s happening!; Children don’t care about their parents who can do and did everything for them. It’s certainly condemnable.
Be humble, be kind, be human.
वसुधैव कुटुंबकम्:
Being humble and being kind require the ability to see and understand from another person’s perspective
what it would feel like to be them [empathy].
Yes – children do matter a lot to parents
and not only to their parents!
Most everyone who is an adult is in some form of a parenting role.
These children might care more about their peers and/or their younger siblings.
Also I have read a really cool series from Shobna S Iyer over the past five years where she talks about the very issues which concern you.
Right now the main family in those books is still a full nest.
You might like to look for THE VIOLENT POTTER. And read about Didi and Pari and their brother – and their father and mother. Also when their Aunty Shree dies and everything which led up to that.
It does feel like the balance is uneven and skewed.
I would not be too hard on the children.
Using words like “nothing” and “everything” show us the stakes involved.
These multi-generational Indian [Sri Lankan; Pakistani; Nepalese; Bhutanese] and diaspora families.
Also: I wonder if there are lots of trad sons in India?
Hi there my name’s Jean Rony Pierre I’m from Haiti and I’m an English teacher in my country. I always recommend Cambridge dictionary to my students it’s very useful and professional too. Thanks a lot for the great work you make in the whole world.

Grad annexes have been around for quite a while!
Other name for granny flats include Dependent Persons Unit or the Canadians have a name for them: Accessory Units.
A grad annexe could also be for a nephew or a niece or another relative – while they are studying.
Remember, too, that theses and dissertations can take up to ten years.
Very relevant to the Federal Budget this week in Australia.
Such things as capital gains tax [around in its present form since 1985]; negative gearing and the calibration of trusts [including family and discretionary targets/purposes].
