Would you ever have the move out talk?

This is a 35 yr old WOMAN. Not a kid. A woman. Old enough to run for president.

Good for her. You should be happy she doesn't throw money away on rent and bring home multiple guys.

This has totally stunted her development. At 35 she's a bit late if she wanted marriage and children.

I mean, this, realistically. But yes, you should absolutely clue her in on the fact that you are looking to retire elsewhere and sell the house. This is a good time for her to start looking into buying a condo/townhome for herself. Don’t just drop the bomb on her once you’ve finalized your plans.

It's a good relationship, but just want her to be in her own, and we are thinking about moving to North Carolina, our house will see for 800k, and we will buy something half the price and save the rest.


Then absolutely have the conversation. Talk to her about your plans. Doesn't need to be a "get out next month" since this is a long status quo and she seems responsible. Give her a chance to figure out next steps. I wouldn't even talk timeline in this conversation. But, talk to her, plant the seed, see what she says. Get the ball rolling. Adult to adult.

Ask her if she wants to buy this house and continue living here or rather move to NC and buy something in your neighborhood.

This. My kids know that the second the youngest is in college, we’re selling the house and moving. They’re in middle school.

As PP noted, a 35-year-old person is a not a "kid." Except in DCUM land, I suppose.

And this one is a teacher, not someone with low-functioning disabilities.

The time for her to move out happened during the Obama Administration.

You don't have much of a relationship with her, do you Op? It's inconceivable that it's not shared.

Op, you know her well and you know why she likes living with you. Mine kids would leave me the minute they could.

Pretty sure any 35 year old who is still living at home is never going to be president.

And that's okay. I don't know what's so great about being president (ex. trump was one too).
