Chapter 19
The section of the textbook on page 539 and 540 about "Linked Lives" with emerging adults and their parents was something I found enjoyable and encouraging. My husband and I are going to be moving this Spring back to Washington State, where I grew up, to be closer to my family. Since we will be completely uprooting our lives, we will be staying with my parents for about six months to a year to give us time to get situated with jobs, and save money to build our house. Reading about the benefits of the parent-child relationship when young adults live with their parents, and the financial benefit as well, was very encouraging because it has been a concern for myself about how well living with them will go. I have a great relationship with my parents, as does my husband, so I never anticipated any issues especially since it will be short term. But it was encouraging to know it is not a step back and is proven to be beneficial.

Smart thinking in moving back in with your parents to be able to save money for a house and have a more stable future. I hope it works out well for you relationally. I for one determined that I would never move back in with my parents. My mom tries to control everyone who lives under her roof, and living elsewhere breaks that control. I'm planning to move to Kenmoore Washington next fall to continue my education. I'd like to come back to PA for the summer, but not if my only option is moving in with my parents. Though your relationship may be tested living together, you should be fine because you and your husband have a great relationship with your parents.
