    No. I just don't think people should be slated for loving their families and choosing to live with them.
    Yes. Thought you did. If you love your family, don't go live with them. That's the best way to fall out, especially after a few years away from home.

    Yes, I suggested to my mum (as a joke) that if things got really tough, we could always move back into their 5 bed house (conveniently in the catchment area for a school we like). Much to my surprise, she took it seriously, and was very keen on the idea - I think it would be a win-win situation - cheap living costs for us and free baby sitting; they get help round the house and to see their grandchildren.

    Not doing it now; but you never know....
    If people need to move back with mummy when they have children then they should have waited until they could properly provide for them.

    What use is a 4-5 bedroom house to a woman living alone.[/quote]

    umm friends round, parties, you name it she sounds single, last thing i would want in later life is the kids moving back coz they cant afford a place of their own.

    It's not necessarily a case of "need to move back with mummy", it could be a case of choosing to do so.
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Have you ever been to Bridgewater?

    They don't even bother moving out to begin with.
