Sometimes there are extenuating circumstances whereas, moving back with your parents is the only way to keep you from living on the streets. Though, a lot of children venture out and, try to make it on their own todays cost of living is astronomically high and, the rent is totally outrageous. That in some cases is the reason why children are forced to move back home with their parents as well as the overwhelming population of the homeless.
True, some children have too much pride or, choose not to burden their parents with the situation of having to move back but, sometimes it's the only solution. Especially in cases where the it's an apartment that's small and, you have to turn everything upside down just so you'll have a place to sleep. And, forget about if they have children of their own.
But, personally I'd rather have my children and their children piled up with me no matter how small than to have them live on the streets and, not know whether they're safe, being fed, bathing, etc. I also, feel that if said, child or children are healthy and able to work then by all means try to find work and, help your mother out. I know it's not easy finding work these days but, at least make an effort thereby, doing your part and, making the situation a little less stressful.
On the other hand if, the child just want to move back home because, they don't want to work or, rather not maintain adult responsibilities and figure mom will take care of you then, they should not be able to move back home. In that case, I feel that it will definitely damage the family unit.
