would you support a 25 year old moving home for a year? other questions I could ask but didn't: what was your experience like having a professional living at home? anything I should know/think about?[/quote]

Think about how you are going to handle contributions into the various aspects of living together.   If you have cleaners/landscapers/etc, do you expect her to contribute to the cost?  If you are doing all the work yourself, what/how much do you expect her to contribute?

How are you going to handle the food cost and cooking?

What's going to be your visitors policy?   What about any overnight guests?

Does she have her own car?  Is she going to be using yours?

Do you expect her to be home by certain time?

Discuss all of the above beforehand and, hopefully, you'll find yourselves on the same page.

are you the mom from hell?[/quote]

I'm not the pp you quoted, but why would you ask that?   They seem like reasonable discussion points for the daughter and parents to discuss.

My parents never would have allowed this.    My brother wanted to go to law school at a univeristy near my parents (San Diego) he had been living about an hour away in Orange county.   They had a 4 br, 3 bath house but when he mentioned possibly living with them while going to law school, they said no way.  He ended up not going because he couldn't afford it.[/quote]

Well, if that was the case then your parents were terrible people and I feel sorry for your brother.  Every one of our four kids moved back home after college for various periods of time -- and were greeted with open arms.  I'm sorry your family is so screwed up. [/quote]
