You are not the only one! I live with FI and his parents. We basically have our own apartment in the basement. We're saving up to buy a house, so we'll probably even be there for a year or two after the wedding. His parents are very laid back and are hardly ever home, so it works out well for us.
It may be tough now, but it's worth it when you can buy a home without wasting tons of money on rent while you save up! You've only got a few more months to go. Good luck!
Mr. KM is right now! His lease with his roommate ended and there wasn't anyone he wanted to live with and living alone was more than he wanted to spend! So now he's saving money, lol.
Yeah, I am moving back in with my mom (I'm actually at the airport as we speak :(((((((( ) after living with FH for a year and a half! I'll be with mom for about 7 months, cause I'm taking a semester of leave to go to an internship or something. Haven't quite figured that part out yet. She just wants me home
I actually just spent my last night at my mothers house.
The house my FI and I bought closes today!!! :)
My FI will stay at his parents place until after the wedding. (I live farther away so it made sense for me to move in to the new house)
My emotions are everywhere! Excited, a little sad...
You're not the only one SparkleSpaniel! FH and I currently rent with my mom at the moment to save us on some cash for the wedding and to buy our future home. I'll be glad when this is over though - I love my mom but we've been here for just over 2 years!
you're not the only one..welll, my FI is living with his family at the moment..trying to save money for the future..i had to move out cuz i needed to be closer to my job...
I think there are a lot of us in this situation. I am living with my parents to save money to buy a house and FI was doing the same with his parents, but since they wanted to charge him rent he moved in with me and my parents. I swear lately every little thing they do drives me. We are now counting the days!
Mr. P and I are living with his parents. So far, it's been the smartest decision we've ever made. Like you, we have been able to save a lot of money because of the generosity of my in-laws.
I wrote a post about this here: http://www.weddingbee.com/2009/12/01/a-new-family/
Me & FI are each living with our parents. We're not allowed to move in together before the wedding for religious reasons, which is hard, so we won't be moving in together until after the wedding. Depending on how it goes, we might be staying with his parents, but his house is split into upstairs & downstairs, so they're like apartments.
yes, Mr.D and I are living with my parents at the moment, while we were in England we were with his! We're hoping to be able to move out this spring. He just got his greencard - so that should really help!
We lived with his parents for a few months over the summer. But my friend lived with her inlaws for a year after they got married to save up.
My parents have an in-law suite off their house. My grandmother lived there for 11 years. When I moved back to NY from DC I lived in the suite. Its a cozy apt with living rm, bdrm, kitchen and bath- just perfect for me. Plus, I love my parents so making the decision to move back home was an easy one.
Now that Im married (eeee!!!) and going through the immigration process into Canada- I still maintain my apt. for legal purposes. Mr. W and I stay there when we're in town as well- so its our home away from home. Its absolutely perfect!
I'm with my parents at the moment, because I'm on semester break. I live in a house owned by my university during the semester.
ugh it kinda sucks though... I lived on my own for a year in New York, that's where I met my fiance. But we've never lived together, he's 24 and lives with his parents there. Then when I moved back home, I didn't have a job and I'm forced to live with my family (which includes a 4 yr old sister, 13 yr old brother and 17 yr old brother). I have to readjust to the noise! But I'll be married and in an apt with my honey in only four months!
Thanks everyone I feel so much better now! Living with the parents has been great for us in a lot of ways cos it now means that we're building a house of our own, which we wouldn't have been able to do had we been renting. It's just hard to adjust to, I've been out of home since I was 18 and the fella and I pretty much lived together straight from the word go (he just never left! LOL) so it's been hard to adjust to just having a bedroom and loosing a bit of your independence. But thanks so much to all of you for letting me know I'm not the only one (haha!) and I wish all of you good luck in your saving/schooling/going home endeavours!
My FH and I have never moved back in since leaving at 18....BUT!!!!! we or atleat I might move back in when our lease here is up for about 2 months before the wedding. We do not want to stay in MI so either we will both live with them, have a long vacation ;) and save up or I will and he will head out to Texas and set some stuff up for us and then I'll follow after the big day.
I think it is a great way to save money and there is no shame in moving back home...especially since all you bees arn't doing it forever, just for a bit :) :)
I did until this last summer! My son and I lived with them actually. Then FI and I got a place! :)
My husband and I live with his parents. We originally moved in until we could find jobs and then a place of our own after the wedding. It is difficult since we pretty much only have the one room to ourselves. It'll be so much easier once I can find a job. My husband already has one and once I can, we'll be able to find an apartment. I can't wait.
I am living with my parents because I came back to Las Vegas for law school (after living on my own in AZ for undergrad). I didn't want the responsibilities of renting/running a household while I was here, and my parents were gracious enough to let me move back in. It has been a lifesaver (or a degree saver) on multiple occasions. Actually, several of my fellow students moved back in with parents to aleviate some of the stress of school. I am, however, counting the days until graduation so I can move back to AZ for Bar Prep. FI and I have a house in AZ, so it is kinda weird to have two different "homes."
I live with my mom and my BF. I actually own the house. It's great because we all split the responsibilities. I pay the mortgage, my mom pays all the household bills (cable, water taxes, etc), BF pays for groceries (well my mom and I do the shopping-he just gives me the $$) and when/if we eat out. Plus my mom does ALL the laundry. It's the one chore that both BF and I HATE. BF & I have the masterbed room that has a full bath, my mom has her own room & her own bathroom. We have an extra bedroom that we turned into an office for my BF since he works from home a lot. My mom has the living room-where she spends most of her time. I tend to stay upstairs in the office or bedroom. Only bc BF is allergic to cats & we have 2-whom he LOVES. So I try to not be around where there is a lot of cat hair so I don't track it into the bedroom. But when he is gone on business trips and I can hang out with the kitties (as long as I clean the bedroom & wash the sheets before he comes back)
And if we ever buy a bigger house then we are def. going to make sure that it was an in-law apt so we can bring her with us. Then when we have kids we have a live-in babysitter at our disposal too :) LOL
I love living with my mom...am I the exception here? LOL
Yes! I am also struggling with living with my parents! Lol. My mom is a single lady by choice. (poor dad). Oh, we argue practically every day. She's not even helping me plan the wedding. Well, she says she'll help buy the food. But she's not letting me choose the caterer. I mean she wants a Mexican caterer. I want my lasagna! I was thinking of Mexican and Italian food. I don't even know if whom ever she picks to cook the food is going to be experienced and know how to cook both Mex and Italian food properly and make it taste delicious. Oh, and we don't see eye to eye on weather to have a buffet or a sit down meal. We FI and I want a buffet and she thinks it's a waste of food and it's more elegant to have a sit down meal. So it's like she's paying for the caterer so she thinks she's in control of the food served in MY wedding.
Omg! I can go on and on. I mean yea I moved back in with her to save money but the energy in my house is something almost unbearable. Also to get out of "living in sin" I just wish she would be more supportive.
I can't wait until my wedding so I can move out and live with the love of my life and start our own family.
How many of you bees that live with your parents have to pay rent? I do. I mean I don't mind it's what ever.
We do - it's not much about $120 a week but my mum doesn't make us pay over school holidays when we're not working. Thanks mum! We don't have to pay any bills or grocery money - just our $120 a week.

I'm just wondering if I'm the only one?! I'm 25 and the fella and I have been living with my parents for over 18 months now to save for our first home. Well the saving part has happened, we have a nice little deposit now and are just about to sign for our first block of land and put a house on it. Our house will be finished in September, just in time for our November wedding. However, on a day like today where I've had a stupid fight with my mum September feels like an eternity away!
Is anyone else out there struggling with living with the parents?
