Paul and I just agreed to let David move back home!!! I'm not sure how I feel about it.
Don't get me wrong... I love my son. BUT, Paul and I really really love living alone.
He's paid his August rent at the apartment so... we've told him that he can stay for a two week trial period. I know that sounds mean and unmotherly but.. we want to make sure that he can follow our rules before saying that he can stay until November ( that's when his friend can move out and get an apartment with him).
We'll be charging him a small amount of rent...150 a month and he's agreed to buy 50 dollars worth of groceries a month, I'll make him a list, he'll do the shopping.
He's been on his own for three years now... I have a feeling that it's going to be really hard for him to come back to Mom's and follow rules.
And hard for us to have a third person living here again...
Do any of you have kids
that have come back home after living on their own?
Any advice??
smiles, T
