This is a completely different issue than the issue presented by OP.  Why wouldn't you encourage moving back?  Given the cost of housing in today's market, why wouldn't you encourage your kids to move back, save money and build a good financial foundation for themselves?  I plan to offer my kids the opportunity to move back home, with the explanation that I expect them to work toward building their financial foundation during that time.  They may turn down the offer, but I'll give them the option.  Maybe I am ok with this because I'm from a culture where this is common.[/quote]

Apologies if my prior post sounded harsh. My point is that our goal is independence, not banishment. If circumstances warrant, of course my DDs will be welcome, but the default is that when they are in college, they return as very cherished guests and when they are done with school, they will live independently. If necessary, I’d prefer to help them to rent or purchase than have them living in the house at that point. They should learn how to run their own household. [/quote]
