What's so bad about living with your parents?

I'm 32, my husband is 34, and we have a daughter. We got together very young and lived with my parents when we were 18/20 while going to college/finding a career. We moved out when I was 20. We had our daughter when I was 21 and we were doing really well for ourselves. My step father got pancreatic cancer when I was 25. We moved back in with my parents when his condition started deteriorating and he needed someone home with him. I worked the usual Healthcare shift 12hrs 3 days a week. My husband worked night shift, so was always home during the day,, my mother has a VERY demanding Healthcare career and her hrs are long and always. It made sense for us as a family to live together. He ended up passing and after many discussions with my mother we all decided that we would continue living together. We all get along very well and this works for us as a family. For some people it works, for some it does not. People judge but that is their issue not ours.

Living with your parents is not a bad thing at all and should not be automatically looked down on. People have different situations in life.
