Moving back in with parents

Me and my missus are doing the exact same thing next weekend. It's helping us so we can save up as much cash as possible for a while and it helps my parents a lot as they both worked for the same company which recently went under and made everyone redundent. We pay a large chunk of their bills for a while and have more money at the same time = win/win :)

It's going to be a bit crampted with me, my missus and our 1 year old but i think we've planned it out quite well, only downside being my parents have 2 cats and my missus is alergic, but we've made a few plans for that as well lol

EDIT: The other major plus is with my mum not having a job for the while it means lots of lovely meals :D I love my mums cooking.

To be honest whether it works for you depends entirely on what the parents are like and if you think you can live with them, luckily i know we could both happily live with my missus mum and step dad or my mum and dad. Couldn't live with my missus dad and partner though.

Good to hear. I think we're going to do it just waiting for her parents to give us the OK before we give notice and start packing.
 
Start telling your parents they are getting your name wrong all the time, that they are getting their birthdays wrong etc to make them question their sanity, ship them off to a nursing home and enjoy the house! Win!
 
I wouldnt do it, lose of freedom, the nagging, complete lack of space...just no.
I also firmly believe that if you want something it needs to be earned, and earned properly - i dont really see what your learning about life if you effectively can just go back to your parents the moment you want something or when times are tough.

I cant see how it puts you in good stead for the duties of actually owning a house and the massive responsibilities that come with paying all your bills on time, and the hundreds of other issues that will all be done to you to sort out.
 
Personally, I couldn't move back in with my parents. It's ok to get back and visit them on the weekends but to stay there all the time would just be a nightmare. We would come to blows I think!
 
It depends on the parents really.

Im back living with mine (at 32 years of age!) after a broken relationship and tbh its totally fine. We lead seperate lives and i actually own the house so dont feel like im living off them.

I will buy another place in due time but i have no reason to hurry as they are good people and wouldnt dream of interfering with my life. TBH i will miss the company when i move out again!
 
Yes.

This is totally dependent on the parents in question.

We lived with my in laws for about 9 months. It was very convenient and we saved a lot of money. They were easy to get on with, and we always had the house to ourselves on weekends as they only stayed the week in London for work.

Moved back in with mine almost two years ago now (yikes!) after 5 years out. Its meant I am going to be completely debt free in less than 2 months now, and I have also saved up the best part of a grand at the same time. My debts every month were adding up to £450 quid, and so when I lived on my own I was spending more than I was earning due to the debts.

I am intending to now save up the rest of the money I need towards a deposit as soon as I can.

Its had its moments the "what time will you be home for tea" phone calls can get a bit annoying, and for the most part I sort myself out with food. I spend a lot of time just up in my bedroom so I can do what I want with my evenings, or I go to friends houses.

I can't say i've enjoyed being back here, but at the same time, am glad I did because I would have been a lot longer paying the debt off otherwise. :)

Similar situation for me had to move home because of owing stuff and not keeping up with payments and I also get the same annoyance when will you be home e.t.c but primarily also spend most my time in my room or go out. I do also agree though that it is worth it and I am much better off now not struggling :)

so to the op yes it is worth it in order to save and get some money behind you
