Lots of venom here on this thread so far.

There are lots of people who go home for periods of time... I did when I was in my upper 20s. ended up staying a few years and it was actually me going nuts and my father not wanting to be alone if I left. It ended up being a fine period of life.... we were able to work together on a major remodel, learning alot about both each other, as adults, and learn a lot about building a house.

Never occured to me that our decisions to do this.... would anger people or cause scorn.

There's a big difference between your situation and what is happening w/ kids in their 20s and 30s. Most of these kids live at home b/c they want a maid and not have to worry if the electric is going to be turned off. That's where the scorn is coming from.

I had the opportunity to work with my Dad, too. It was a great learning experience.
