[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She's 21 .....

OP I agree with DH. A week at home no. Weekend maybe.

What is she going to do when she has a job come home to mommy & daddy when her BF breaks up with her.

Sorry but I know I am an outlier here but really people she's 21.

A lot of 21 year olds live at home during college. [/quote]

I lived at home for the summer between college and grad school. I had a job and took care of myself -- did my own laundry, cleaned my bathroom, etc. It is exceedingly normal for adults this age to spend periods of time with their parents, if there is room and it's not overly burdensome, because it's a weirdly transient time period. Living in temporary housing or living with roommates, working for short periods of time in internships and campus gigs, starting over with new classes every 4 months or so.

If PP had said "but really people she is 27," I'd feel there was a point there. But 21? She's a college kid. College kids turn to their parents for support all the time. This is very typical.[/quote]
