You have to understand that there are going to be rules that you are going to have to follow because you are going to be living under your parents roof so that is going to be #1 thing that will be hard to get used to. As far as them “babying” you you are the only one who can “set the limits” on what you consider to be appropriate so that you can maintain some independence and remain in somewhat of a “reality” of what it will be once you move back out. Perhaps helping to buy groceries or helping to pay bills will be something that would help. Just saving all your money wouldn’t be very responsible, paying at least something would keep you in check with the fact that you have to be a part of the “real world”. Good luck.
