I don't EVEN want to think about that happening. I love my daughter with all my heart.....but we don't live well together. She has been gone a long time and I think it would so very hard for both of us. Not going to say it wont happen......but I hope and pray it doesn't. Nor me having to live in her home!!!
You did say they were "adult children" didn't you. I think they can handle whatever you want to do.
Depends on how long 'for a while' is. Until they find somewhere to rent, couple weeks, okay. Indefinitely - no way!
That did happen with me, but they were my husbands kids, not mine. Mine have never returned to my home to live. With the ex's kids, they were only supposed to stay 2 weeks 'until we get our own place.' Yeah, right!! They (son, DIL and 2 kids) were with us for 3 months! I thought I'd go mad. When the next one came back to liv, that's when I left.
None of my 5 have ever moved home as adults. They all seem to be doing ok on their own. Besides - I live in the back of beyond - they definately don't want to come back here.....grin.
None of my children have asked to move in after they were grown. I'm not sure if I would like that. I love them beyond words, but, I don't want them living with me and I certainly do not want to live with them...
You could always go to his place and cook for him there or whatever.
My son has never asked to move in with me...but if he did he would always be welcome.
Yep, I vote for his place....or treat yourself to a nice hotel if you know you want some privacy and ambience.
My daughter from age 18-21 bounced in and out of my spare room 2-3 times when between leases or (to be honest) boyfriends. I charged her rent and expected her to do certain chores, and she did. I was still VERY glad to have her leave and move back to Oklahoma to (finally) work on her degree. LIke Annie, my daughter is dearly loved, but we don't live well together (although SHE thinks we do....I'm just chomping at the bit wanting her OUT lol).
Oh, and this won't apply with married children moving home, but I enforced a rule that there would be no men sleeping over while she lived with me.....unless it was me that did it (not that it happened lol but I told her if anyone was getting lucky in my condo, it would be me). She quickly got tired of paying rent to live like a nun, when she could find a roommate and do whatever, whenever.
Well, gee. HB, she could have always stayed over at HIS house! You did right.
