69% of Parents Say It’s Easy to Get Kids Home for the Holidays, Just Bribe Them with Food

It’s that time of the year again:  When parents are STRONG-ARMING their out-of-town kids to make plans to come home for the holidays.

According to a survey, 54% of “empty nesters” say they plan on having their kids home for the holidays.  And 69% of them say it’s “easy” to convince them to come back, all you have to do is BRIBE them with FOOD.

72% said their kids asked to “have their favorite meals made for them”, and 87% of parents are happy to oblige, and are already adding them to the menu.

The average adult kid is traveling 596 miles to return home.

But for Thanksgiving, that seems worth the travel chaos, because what’s the alternative?  Spending DAYS in the kitchen putting together your own feast?  No wonder FOOD is the ultimate hack.
