I would not be able to stand it either.

I used to read Dear Abby, years ago. And two things always bothered me, adult children sponging off of their parents, and parents sponging off of their children.

I made up my mind at that time that, should any of my kids need to move back home, I would give them a 6 week time frame to get back on their feet. That has always been my rule, and I have let them know when they move back that they have 6 weeks in which to move out or pay rent.

Of course if they were ill or had an ill child, that would be different. But any healthy, able bodied adult should be paying their own way.

so my advice, tell her she has 6 weeks to find her own place.
