yes, depends on the situation...but I would be comfortable with it, as long as he's not a mamas boy...I don't care what anybody has to say...
Seriously though, it would prob only be a temprary situation anyway.flowerforyou

It all depends on the circumstances and how far I would want to go in the relationship. It's kind of hard to go back to his place for a cup of something with his mom hanging around....
Privacy can be important from time to time

What happens when there is no other options??

I live with my father because my ex husband abandoned the kids and I while I was pregnant with my youngest. We had no food, no money and the rent was due. Now my dad is helping me out by allowing us to stay with him so that I can go back to school and take care of my kids on my own...since their daddy has no intentions to help out.

If that is wrong, or makes me less of a catch, so be it. Being quick to judge others is totally wrong, ya know??

On various occassions I have moved my folks in with me, due to health issues. But it was a temporary move as we value our independence and privacy.

I would say yes,, its not the living situation that brings my attention to the man its what he
holds inside that leads my path,,,

There are many different reasons in life why we live at home,, or why we go back..

The book is so much deeper than the cover flowers

i lived with my mother for about 7 months... as others may have seen it... she had gotten outta bad situation had little money for rent.. and i let her stay at MY house...till she could find something suitable...one would "assume" that i lived with her in fact she lived with me..

yes i dated a man who lived in his moms house. so did his 2 kids live there....had i not gotten to know him and turned up my nose , i never would of known that yes it was HER house.
facts:1. he paid the bills< all of them>
2.she had cancer really bad
3. he did all the housework and most of the cooking.
4. he did as his dead father wished< to take care of momma>
5. he took her to all her dr appointments
6. he cleaned up her bloody vomit till the day she died.
7. when she died, the house was divided evenly between all 3 kids.<although he had paid all her bills for 3 yrs and the only one who took care of her>

does that make him less of a man? for living with his ma? i think not!!!!! cant get a man better than that!

My current guy DOES live with his parents. It's a long story. I won't go into. Hasn't been easy but we make it work.

Love should know no bounds or parameters to work. Period.

Would depend. I lived with my mother for 6 months when she had health issues and needed help with daily necessities. I would sooo date a man who would do that for his family. love

I also know a man whose mother came to live with him after his father passed away. They got on really well that way and she stayed on even after he met someone and got married. They made it work out nicely for everyone. I suppose it would all depend on how well everyone got along to make that doable.

There are many good reasons a someone could live with their parents as an adult....even preference is not an issue. The issue is if they were still on a pacifier or just taking advantage of over indulgent parents. I would live with my mother for sure...she would be an awesome roommate. happy

The main problem would be a man that could help his parents and didn't

When it is within your power to help others you should do so, with no regard of being repaid in kind

Depends on the situation. If he lives with mom to help out in some way.....maybe.....
If he's still at home because he's lazy or trying to save money....NO noway

What if he's still at home because he's still 22 and the full-time job still doesn't pay quite enough, but he is paying his folks room & board? scared
