Anderson And Kid Rock Tie The Knot, Then Return To The Nest
Mount Clemens, MI--Newlyweds Pamela Anderson and Bob "Kid Rock" Ritchie have decided to put their careers on hold for the time being, and move back in with Ritchie's parents, Jim and Melani Ritchie, who are currently living in a Mount Clemens, Michigan housing project.
"We just need to get our finances in order, and then we will look into renting a small studio apartment in the city," said Ritchie. "I know this is not the ideal situation, but Pam seems to get along OK with my folks, so I thought we would try this for a while"
Noted psychologist Elton Riggles says that "Boomerang Kids," or children that return home after college or marriage are a mixed blessing for parents. "These Boomerang Kids can place a huge strain on the financial resources and emotional health of the parents," says Dr. Riggles.
"Unless they set specific ground rules and have a clear plan in place for helping the young adults quickly transition into an independent living situation, these arrangements can cause a great amount of undue stress and financial turmoil for the families involved."
Kid Rock's music career began in earnest almost a decade ago, when he took a job as a janitor in a local recording studio and recorded demos late at night when the studio was empty. "I sold over 100,000 copies of my first single, 'Early Mornin' Stoned Pimp', right out of my parent's basement. Back then it was all profit, but these days with my entourage, touring fees, and Pam's surgical expenses, we just aren't making ends meet anymore."
In lieu of paying rent, Ritchie plans to mow the lawn and take out the trash, and Anderson will do some light cooking and cleaning, as well as looking after the cat box. "Six months, maybe a year tops, and we should have enough saved to move out," says Ritchie.
Ritchie's parents have been supportive of their son's decision to move back in with them, although Ritchie's father had some concerns. "Moms has always been down with this for the most part, but pops was a little hesitant to go along with this at first," said Ritchie. "That is, until I mentioned that Pam likes to walk around the house in her negligee all morning."
"That changed his mind real fast," exclaimed Ritchie. "Like father, like son, I guess."
