What do people think, apparently it is now becoming quite common for people in the late to early 30's to have moved back home with their parents.

The reason why I'm bringing up this thread is because a friend of mine who is 32 and had to take a 25% pay cut has moved back home withy his parents. He has a mortgage but has now rented the house out.

What do people do they find it acceptable?

Moving back for personal reasons is a lot different to still living at home.

Men and women both have had to move back for various reasons. It's not up to us to complain/comment on their personal choices. Each to their own.

What about still living with your parents when in your mid-fifties.?

As long as the parents don't have a problem I can't really see an issue ....... I wouldn't like to think anyones parents felt obliged to have them back in the house... and I would hope that an adult returning to live with their parents would see it only as a short-term measure and would pay the going rate in rent (as much as they were able to) and contribute their fair share towards food and utility bills.

There are always reasons. If they are happy to do that... who are we to judge.

I know plenty of ppl who still live at home, and more who have moved back too.

Nothing would surprise me at this stage. I've been on here a long time and seen it all.

thumbs up

I would never judge anyone else on something like this ... but ... personally, it would drive me DOOLALLY to have to move back with my parents!!! laugh I love them to bits and think they are fantastic but I have been living away from them since I was 19 and bought my own apartment when I was 24 so I just don't think I could do it laugh grin Plus, I have been living entirely on my own for over three years now so I can imagine it would be a bit of a culture shock for me to have to live with ANYONE now! blushing laugh

I get on great with my parents and wouldn't swap them for €100 million ... but just couldn't see myself moving in with them fulltime.
