There is a difference between moving back in with your parents because you have to (you can't find a job that pays enough for rent, food, and other necessities - or you can't find a job at all - despite your best efforts) and moving back in with your parents because you don't want to have to work.

epchick, you're in the former situation, and you and your parents are no doubt expecting that you'll get back on your feet financially and move out at some point in the future - and that is perfectly fine.

I think Dee is talking about the latter situation, where parents say, "Sure, kid, come and live with us indefinitely," knowing that their child is not really motivated to get a job and be financially independent. Next thing you know, the "kid" is in his 50s or 60s and still living with - and mooching off - mom and dad.
