[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 645199, member: 15473"] Having grown up in a small town I knew lots of people who had their grandparents living with them but it was usually because they were older and unable to care for themselves. Now I see kids moving back in with their parents to help them make house payments and keep afloat. I have lived with my parents for short periods when husband was away at training or when we are in the middle of an Army move. At this point though I would never do that again. It worked at the time because we either didn't have housing for the short term or didn't want to pay rent in a large metropolitan area where I didn't have any supports. I would never have chosen to just live with my parents for years after I turned 18. In fact I moved back only when I was pregnant and single and had no other way to pay for housing. Right after I had difficult child my dad bought a small house for me and I paid the mortgage and bills. I lived there until I married husband and then moved out of town with him. When we left I helped my dad do some minor repairs so that he could rent the house out and then sell it. in my humble opinion people who are still living at home at 30 should either be there as a financial or medical/physical support for their families. If you are still living there acting like a kid and not helping then that is a serious red flag! On the other hand I keep watching these home makeover and home buying shows on TV and it seems to be pretty common that several generations are living together. Of course all the ones on TV have the children helping support the family. Maybe TV has a no moochers allowed policy! LOL [/QUOTE]
