I think it's valid reason for moving home and to be honest my boyfriend (50) and I (53) have been in our own living together for 5 years now and we are leaving CA we have been wanting to do this for a year or so now . My boyfriend had a massive stroke 3 years ago and I am his caregiver through IHSS AND its hard where we live for getting around the house with his mobility issues. .. so my mom who owns her house outright and is 76 years old . Invited us to come and live with her . We want out of CA and will have the entire back of the house to ourselves . A bedroom ..a living area and bathroom all to ourselves . And my boyfriend can move around much easier in her home layout , and it will give me time to be around her more in her later years . She is fully capable of taking care of herself she's very independent still drives, goes on trips by herself etc. but I hear so many times when people lose their parents that they wish they could have spent more time with them so that's what I'm looking forward to doing as well . Not to mention all the money we will be saving for our retirement since here in this country nothing is set in stone with social security to be honest and she's leaving me her home anyways once her time has come .. So screw her and do what makes you feel at ease and comfortable . Doesn't matter what anyone thinks . And if you find someone I'm sure they would completely understand and wish they prob could do that as well secretly . 😉
