[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have you asked her about long term plans? I've had friends move back in with their parents when getting engaged (sometimes with SO), to save money for downpayment or wedding, and then buying a house. Does she have some concerns about losing her job? Is she applying for new jobs and doesn't want to lock herself into a lease? Doesn't feel ready to move in with SO, or perhaps SO is thinking of moving/changing jobs?[/quote]

It has nothing to do with finances. She has a very stable job. She just wants to live at home.[/quote]

So many questions:
Does she know that she would have to pay rent? Utilities? Buy her own food?
Is the boyfriend sleeping over? 
Is there a time limit? Like she wants to do this for a year? Or is it totally open-ended?
Do you have other children at home?
What does your spouse think?[/quote]

We don’t really need her to contribute  financially except for her phone/car payment.

Boyfriend won’t be sleeping over.

She hasn’t mentioned any time limit, but I’m thinking till engagement.

We have one kid in college and two in high school.

DH has no issue with her moving back home.

The reason she wants to move back in is because she just prefers living here, & misses it. -OP[/quote]

That's what she's telling you, but even if it's true (and I doubt it is), it's only part of the story.  Why does she miss it?  Because she isn't responsible for cooking, cleaning, or other "adulting?"  Because she misses you and her siblings?  Because she hates living alone?  [/quote]
