(8,646 posts)as an adult with 4 children, to be precise. Honestly, it wasn't the best situation but I didn't really have a choice at the time. I moved back in later when I was transitioning from a rental to a duplex I had built. It was a bit better that time.
If my kids wanted to move in with me as adults? Okay. Fine by me. I think I'd be happy if they never left, LOL. I'm definitely not the type who can't wait for their kids to grow up and move out (why have kids if you can't wait till they leave?).
I'd also be okay dating someone who lived with family. Of course, there would be a lot depending on what the situation was. If I'm dating a guy who lives with his mom because he was laid off, or because he's going through a divorce that's okay. If he lives with her because she still controls all aspects of his life, then I don't think the relationship would go far anyway. If I'm dating a guy who has adult kids living at home with him that's okay too, so long as if I ever move in we all get along. I've lived with a lot of people over my life, including my parents, in-laws (easier than living with my own parents! lol!) and my ex's friends and I've discovered I'm pretty easy-going and can live with anyone so I don't think this would ever be a major problem for me. I enjoy having people around. The more the merrier, so long as you have reasonable boundaries.
