Have you ever had any of your adult children hit a rough time and have to come back to live with you?

My youngest daughter came back home several times. My daughter gifted me her car a year ago Oct 2015  and she offered me a place to stay if needed. I chose a senior citizens complex :)  I'm happier here.

I only have one step-daughter and she is doing better than I ever did. However I was the adult child who moved back. Twice. Second time I brought my husband with me. It was hard at times, but thankfully everything worked out.

Yep, my daughter was the only one. She moved out and back a few times. She finally went back to school, earned her degree and now has a great job and her own house. I'll be moving in with her one day, payback is a bit*h.

That's exactly what happened to me when my ex-wife threw me away. I had nowhere else to go except to my parents' house. One of the most humiliating things I had to do.

No, but if they needed to, they could. My parents never afforded me that courtesy. Times are tough, sometimes people need help.

Cultures are different. Here in Iran people look to western countries with surprise when they see their children move out of their parents house. Here children live with their parents until they get married. So if you see a 35 year old man still living with his parents don't be surprised. Insteresting thing is, my brother who is 35 and still lives with my parents tried to move out a couple of times but my parentd cried their eyes out and he had to return. But to me, independece westerns give to their children is precious

Only once. One of our sons had a few ripples so he and his wife moved with with us for about three months. It worked out pretty well and once they got on their feet -- and it didn't take long -- they were off again. No problem.

My kids, both, came home for a while when attendibng college, but it was short term. 

My 36-yr old daughter has Down's Syndrome, and she has always lived at home.  She could move to a group home if she chose to, but we're both happier staying together.
