[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's good to learn to be on your own. Makes you less emotionally dependent on your spouse. Gives you more agency. This move home is not great. [/quote]
I agree with this. I’d be more inclined to let her if I didn’t think a marriage was imminent. Assuming it is, I’d be concerned about an adult daughter unable to live alone.

Why isn’t it working? I think it’s important for adults to have the experience of taking care of themselves so they know they can do it. I think it helps if you are suddenly alone (death or divorce) or even thinking about divorcing (you’ll make a decision that isn’t based on fear of being alone or unable to manage). I think it builds skills and competencies that are critical to maturity.[/quote]

But she does have that experience. She would rather live with her family rather than alone or with a roommate and is not ready to move in with her boyfriend. She is not unemployed or dependent on her parents financially. They all get along well and the parents have the space available in their home. [/quote]
