Since the pandemic hit, my parents have been trying to convince me to move back in with them. I'm working remotely now, they say, so I don't have to live in the city, so I might as well live with them, right?
I have to keep making different excuses. They don't seem to quite get the message that as much as I love them, I just don't want to live with them...
But it was only temporary.
That said, we immigrated to the US from a country where it is normal/expected to live with your parents until marriage or later. I don't think my fiance would have had a good time moving back in her with parents for 2 years like I did.
I guess the original reason I posted the anecdote is, I wonder how many of the people who've moved back home just did it because they could, since they're working remotely anyway.
