Intersting thread... I have two daughters, one moved out and things worked out for her, she never moved back. The other moved out, came back on three different occasions. Was I happy about her moving back in? No, not really; but I would never be so cold as to say either one of my children could not move back in, if they needed help. To me, that is one of the responsibilties of parenting. You can't turn your back on your own offspring. Oh, and the child that moved back three times is getting married in September to a really great guy. So, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things work out for them.
