Its not even a question for me, but more or less kind of looking for ideas/ advise here....

Me: Age 28, Married, Live in a town home with my wife and 2 year old child. Life is good.

We have been living together for 3 years, had a kid and then got married (Typical lifestyle for these days )

About 1 year ago, my father has had to close his business (womens retail, clothing store) due to the economic downturn.

Since then, he has been looking for a job and has been also working on other seperate projects trying to make an income.

Unfortunately, at his age (62) its not easy... As he doesn't have the energy which he used to have.. I don't blame him either.... He was a hard worker!!

Now, he had some money saved, and is collecting retirement now. That, and my mom was working and with her salary covered a great deal of the expenses, (either intended expense or not)

Anyways, my mom just got notified that the company she has been working for, for 15 years will be closing her location and she needs to find another job by the end of Aug.

they are not willing to relocate, because supposedly they are closing all locations by next year and the transfer would just not make sense for the company.

The only option I think I have is, move back to my parents house, pay their mortgage (or pitch in whatever amount they need) until my mom/ dad finds a job and then I would start all over again when the time is right.

Any bright ideas here? I am not really fond of the idea of moving back... but family is family and I am willing to do whatever for them.

The part I worry about is the strain it will cause on our marriage. Has anyone here had to move back with their parents once they were married and already out of the house? How did it work? I gotta say, I think its gonna be hell... but who knows.

Luckily, my parents are great, loving people which don't get too into your business unless you invite them.

Im so confused!

Thanks for reading my rant!

 

quick answer without reading this: yes, I'd move back in.

that's what your parents are for....

 

more thought-out answer now that I've read the post:

yes, it might suck at first since you're married, but you'll adjust.

 

Thanks man, you always seem to make me laugh

 

i guess just paying whatever amount for mortgage assistance they need while maintaining your own place isn't an option?

 

Well, I guess I left out a major point

My wife is currently unemployed as well and I don't make ALL that much money.. (everything is on me right now)

Quite honestly I get shocked about how much of a retard I am with my current wages

I think my boss is on to me

 

ok, then i say yes, do it, and you can have your parents keep an eye on your woman while you're away putting in the hours to provide for everyone

 

are you/they against moving in with you?

i would move back in if i had to, but in this case i would try to get them to move with me first.

 

Point well taken!

Damn, you guys are smart!

Imagine my dad.... "Oh I dont know son, there was some black dude who kept going upstairs, I wouldn't think much of it "

 

Well, My place is a 1200 SF and theirs is about 2200ish.

they have 4 BR, I have 2...

I think that the best option would be for us to go there... Considering the size and all.

Thanks for your input though!!
