I recently bought a house after the divorce but now I am thinking about selling it. I am stay at home mom and can either stay at home for a few years in my new house or move back in with my mom and have a lot of money to invest and have a good time with. Plus if I move in with my mom I will have a lot more freedom since she is willing to babysit if I wanted to go on a date. What would you do?

sounds to me like LOSER mentality.
Learn to be on your own...enjoy your home, freedom and make a life for yourself and your children. Why do you want to be a MOOCHER?
Why should dear ol' MOM/dad support your rear while you go out party have fun and give them zip...accept the privledge of taking care of YOUR children....and cleaning up after YOUR children!!!
Grow up ......

Slow down and think sweetheart. First you say you bought a house, second you said you have a child or children. The thing I see here is that you kind of want to be free. If you have a home and child please keep your home if possible. Each adult especially if theres kids need their on space. Honey if you've got a lot of money I suggest you invest it and not try to have a good time with it. Always think about your kids if you don't even think about yourself. As far as freedom goes theres not a whole lot of that when you have kids. Why have your mother raise your kids when you were the one to have them. Your mother done her job when she raised you. Please don't misunderstand what I'm saying because yes its okay to get babysitters from time to time, but please focus on having your good time with your kids. As far as all the money you have, it wouldn't be a bad idea to pay it toward your mortgage to help pay it off early. Start a trust fund for your children with some of the money, and put some in a savings for you and your kids for when times may get hard or there may be an emergency. Thats what I would do with the money.

As long as you can support yourself...keep the house. Have your mom babysit. Whatever you do...do NOT move back in with mother. Stay on your own. Guys like that in women. It's sexy...

hang on to the property and rent it out ... it will appreciate after a few years and give you quite a nestegg. ... plus, if you remarry, you will have a house of your own that will not be at risk if you divorce since you brought it into the marriage (prenuptual agreements for that)

You have said nothing about spending some on the kids. so do that and quit worrying about your fun time and your self. the money is the kids too. put some in the bank for them and buy them things they want. you seem to have it figured out what you want , having fun and a good time so what about the kids ...

Don't sacrifice your independence and privacy. Since you have the income invest it in a babysitter.

Save it, use it for some kind of investment, because you'll never know when you'll get this type of reward again. Just use your common sense...

Take your money to the track and bet on a horse.

You could have a place of your own near your mom's.
