but is 27. So more of a woman now. Staying "at home"--mother's house until soon, becayse looking for a pl. but in the meantime, culturally it's common for my culture, but am American so I understand it's frowned upon here. If the parent is a widow, does it change any? if the daughter sticks around longer as in giving the mom company? it's a 3 bdrm., and otherwise the mother would be alone. Thx for the opinions, and, pls be nice.
