My frined has recently gotten married. Instead of moving into her own place with her new husband, they moved into her parents home.
Do you think it's ok for 2 married adults (both with full time jobs) to be living with their parents? If so, for how long?
What if they start having kids, is it still acceptable?

I see nothing wrong with it as long as all parties involved are accepting of it. Maybe they are saving their money to get on their feet. As long as they are pulling their own weight with helping out in the household with paying bills, cleaning, cooking and contributing I see nothing wrong with it. If they are living there just sponging off their parents that's a different story.

She is cooking and cleaning, however, they don't contribute much $$$. Sometimes they pay the phone or cable bill but nothing on a regular basis.
It doesn't seem like they are planning on moving out any time soon anyway.
She's an only child so her parents are kinda glad she didn't move away. Doesn't seem right to be milking the situation like she is.

I think that if the couple can not afford to live on their own that it would be okay, but not for a long term arrangement. My brother, his wife, and my nephew live with her grandmother and they don't get along at all. I have no clue why they live with her, they both have full time jobs and could easily afford to live on their own. I don't agree with what they are doing.
