YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPeter Carey was looking forward to his 40th birthday. The Miami club promoter had a new apartment, a new job and — after a bad breakup (he and his ex were on a reality show on Oprah’s OWN network) — a new lease on life. He wanted to celebrate in lavish style: out-of-town guests, a yacht, “you know, the whole Miami thing,” he tells The Post.
Then COVID-19 hit.
“Suddenly, the club was shut down, I wasn’t making money, and I couldn’t pay my rent,” Carey says. “I was like, ‘I’m gonna go home and check in on my parents.’ ”
Instead of partying on Miami Beach, Carey has spent the past 2 ½ weeks at his childhood home in Charlotte, NC, watching “The View” with his retired parents (who are in their 70s), running their errands and doing pushups in their guest-room suite in an effort to stay fit during the coronavirus lockdown.
When he does go out — even just to CVS — Mom and Dad monitor him: “We listen for when the garage door opens and closes,” his father, Phil, tells The Post on a family video chat.
Carey laughs. “The food is good, but this [was] not the way I intended on spending my 40th birthday,” he says.
In this era of social distancing, some families are getting closer than ever. As the coronavirus spreads throughout the country — as of Thursday, New York state has more than 37,250 cases, with the rate doubling about every three days — more and more empty-nesters are welcoming their college-aged and adult children back home. And there are growing pains.
Some of these adults moving back home — such as Haley Walker — wanted to shelter-in-place with more comfort and safety.
“You just never know what’s going to happen in the city with so many people around,” says the 24-year-old Walker, a senior product analyst at startup SquareFoot. “We wanted to get out and go somewhere more rural, and somewhere with a lot of space around us.”
