    It will probably be equally hard for her and you will be the one getting the most benefit in the long run.

    However, both observe our wishes. It's called respect.

    Where does your respect of your daughter with a seven year relationship figure in that?

    I'm speaking as the mother here, not the daughter. ;)
    . . .I did not speak out

    Then they came for me
    And there was no one left
    To speak out for me..

    It doesn't appear to be mutual respect. But don't worry, eventually they won't want to visit.

    My DD came home.after being independent at uni, and hates every minute of it. She says it feels like a backward step.
    And while we don't clip her wings in any shape or form, yet she feels stifled being here and hates living in just one room.

    She was lucky and left uni with no debt, but is saving hard for a deposit so she can get her wish and be independent again.

    I do keep reminding her it's temporary and won't last for ever and that to see the rainbow she need to experience the rain.

    Realistically you moving home might encourage your BF to get his own place sooner - and as you'll both be better off if you'll be paying less in keep than in rent and he won't be paying to travel to Leeds you can always splash out on the odd night in a travelodge or Premier Inn or even regular weekends away.

    What do your parents want you to do.
    they may not want you back.

    Valid point. One of my kids keeps returning to the nest and quite frankly I'm getting sick to death of it. The hotel 'Mum & Dad' is an easy and cheap option and is far too often abused.

    It's called prudishness. But you're quite entitled to take a "it's my way or the highway" stance. Just don't be surprised when they choose the latter ;)
