F/U to living arrangement post

Wow, thanks for the positive responses. I guess I'm just reluctant b/c I'm 31 and been out of my parent's house since I was 20.  We all have a great relationship so I'm not too worried about that.  I have to find someone to take over our lease though before I can do this! 

Another thing, when my mom suggested it, she had our TTC journey in mind...she knows we have to have assistance due to the PCOS, so it would free up money to save for that too

I responded to your post, but didn't you post the exact same question 2 days ago?  I hope you get your answer soon.

I've been out of my parents house for 11 years (DH has been out for more) and both of us agree that this is something we could and would consider doing. Both of our parents would consider doing it as well. Dont worry about the age thing or how long you've been gone. As long as your parents dont expect you to live and act as though you were moving back to their house and were still a teenager, then it shouldnt matter. That goes both ways, though. You should pay for and prepare your own meals, not disturb them, to make sure you are being clean and neat and quiet etc.

I still don't think it is a good idea. If you have to move back every time you need to save for something, you need more income.  Life (and kids) are going to throw costly curve balls your way and I don't think it is wise to start off this way. Just my 2 cents.

I have to disaree with pp's post.  Living there for a few months to get ahead financially can actually help them prevent future financial problems.  Some parents view it as helping out their kids, being a parent, and doing what they can to help out.  Being a parent doesn't stop when your kid turns 18.  Now obviously every situation is different.  But the op doesn't sound like a loser who goes back to mom and dad everytime something isn't peachy.  Asking for help does not make you a bad person.  Using the help available to you, and maximizing that help to get a step and making it clear that you are grateful for the help, is a sign imo of maturity.
