MUSIC IN YOUR LIFE
Wayne Seok – Manager, Seoul, South Korean
I’m a big music fan. My favorite genres are rock,
electronic, and hip-hop. I listen when I’m sad, when I’m
happy, when I’m bored, almost all the time. I actually
don’t download music because there are lots of good
streaming services. It’s so easy, and it doesn’t cost
much. I just click on an app on my smart phone and
listen. I also love live music at big concerts because you
can meet lots of other music lovers. Every summer I go
to the Jisan Valley Rock Festival near Soul. It lasts 3
days, so we camp out there and have a lot of fun.
Matheus Rocha -High School Student, Fortaleza, Brazil
My favorite music might seem unusual for a sixteen-
year-old guy. Unlike most of my friends, I enjoy older
Brazilian music-samba and Bossa Nova, especially
from artists like Tom Jobin. I play the saxophone in the
school band, and I’m really fan of the American jazz
artist Grover Washington Junior and Kenny G. I can’t
imagine my life without music. I listen to music every
day on my phone or on my computer. I’m very busy at
school, so I listen mostly at home.

When Adult children come home
Q: My wife and I recently sent our last child off to
college. We are ready to sell the house and travel, but
our oldest daughter doesn’t have a job and plans to
move back home. What should we do?
A: Most North Americans expect their children to move
out of the house at eighteen. But that’s changing.
Today, more adult children are returning home to live.
Some don’t have jobs or can’t pay for the high cost of
housing. Some are recently separated or divorced. Most
are single, but some come home with a wife, husband
or child, too.
Most parents are happy when their kids come back
home to live. However, when a son or daughter can’t
find a job-or is recently divorced- there can be
problems. And if their son or daughter is still at home
at the age of thirty-five, many parents are no longer
happy.
In your case, what if your daughter moves back home?
Don’t worry. If you and your daughter had a good
relationship when she was younger, she’ll be fine. Help
her in any way you can. And it’s Ok to ask, “How long
do you plan on staying”?
Don’t treat your daughter like a child. In our culture,
adult children don’t feel good about living at home, and
they don’t want to depend on their parents’ help. Tell
her you understand.
Talk to your daughter as an adult. Have a discussion
about paying for expenses and helping with household
responsibilities and chores, such as kitchen cleanup and
doing laundry. If you and your daughter talk and try to
understand each other, everyone will be happier.
