About the Holiday
Crowded Nest Awareness Day recognizes the condition of Crowded Nest Syndrome (affectionately referred to as CNS by many blogs and web articles) where you have children who have moved out of the house and you've gone through Empty Nest Syndrome only to have your children (and possibly their children) come back home again and/or having your parents or in-laws move in with you so you can care for them. Suddenly, this creates a feeling of a crowded nest. With the recent popping of the housing bubble and so many people out of work, this syndrome is something we're hearing quite a bit more of these days.
We've been unable to track down the origins of this holiday. The earliest reference to it that we could find was 2005.[1]
