Do you live in a home with your child and your mum and dad? In spite ofthe fact that this scenario seems to be more common in old tv programs,it is certainly becoming more and more usual nowadays, than it was afew years ago. Of course there are going to be plus points to this, butyou will also see that there are many negatives points to it. Continueto read this feature if you would like to know what benefits there are,or indeed what are the downsides. If you are now looking at moving withyour mum and dad this may also help you a little bit.
Positive things to consider.
itmay make more economic sense. Not necessarily though, as often theproperty is so big that every generation has their own separate floorand only gather in the living room and kitchen. you don'thave to travel to see your family as they are all around you. This canbe a really good point for living together as it can boost very closefamily ties. if the younger adult needs to go away at shortnotice and has no idea who could look after the kids, in a multiplegeneration house, someone is always there to take care of them (nobabysitter is needed). The older generations are able to support oradvise the younger generations, especially with regard to bringing up achild. younger adults can take care of the property or gogrocery shopping (the older generation is not always able to do this,possibly due to mobility or health matters. The last thing you probablywant to do after working all day is cook a meal, this is where theolder family members could support the younger members. theolder individual can feel by themselves, especially if they arehousebound or have lost their life partner. With young adults andchildren around, there is unlikely to be a dull moment, so beingsurrounded by family gives the older generation people to lean on.So what are the negative points?
being able to sit, chill and be by yourself or have a private life is something that is unlikely to happen. parents might intrude in the life of their kids and grandchild too much, and vice versa. how you bring up your kids could also create problems, with other family members ignoring what you want for the child.avery close relationship between children and their parents may notalways be a positive thing (women usually hate to be compared to themother of their partner.
