Tell us: do you live in a multigenerational house share?

I'm not sold on these multigenerational house shares yet . I mean, sure, it sounds nice in theory - older folks teaching the youngins' about life and all that. But what about when the young adults have their own ideas and expectations? I've seen some of these videos online where people are living together with grandparents, parents, and kids, and it just looks like a big mess . I don't know if that's sustainable or healthy for everyone involved.

And what about the older generations? Are they really comfortable sharing space with people who are going to be there for 20 years or more? Some people might not want that kind of commitment or compromise . And then there's the financial aspect - how do you make it work if there are different income levels in the household? It just seems like a lot of potential drama and stress .

I'm all for people living together and supporting each other, but I think we need to think about the long-term implications here before we start encouraging everyone to go multigenerational .

idk why ppl r so hesitant about multigenerational house shares i mean, it sounds like a total win-win to me - u get the best of both worlds: young energy and old-school values but at the end of the day, it's all about finding common ground and being chill with each other can't stress that enough

I've seen some weird stuff in my time, but multigenerational house shares? That's a whole new level. I mean, I'm all for people helping each other out, but it's gotta be hard to navigate the whole "different life stages" thing. My friend lives with her mom and aunt, and it sounds like they all get along pretty well, but I can imagine there are moments when you just wanna have some peace and quiet. Still, it's cool that they're having each other's backs and learning from each other. Maybe it's the future of living?

I think multigenerational house shares are defo worth a shot . Like, my older sis lives with me and my partner, and it's been super cool to learn from her experiences and have her guidance . But at the same time, we've had to find ways to compromise on stuff like noise levels and personal space . I think the key is just being open-minded and communicating honestly with each other . It's not always easy, but it can lead to some amazing opportunities for growth and learning .

I gotta say, I've got a relative who lives with their kid and grandkid in the same house and it's actually pretty cool! My aunt is super into gardening and teaches them how to plant and harvest fresh veggies... meanwhile my cousin is more of a gamer and they're always down for a gaming session. It's hilarious to see them bicker about whose turn it is to do the dishes lol . But seriously, I think it's awesome that people are finding new ways to live together and learn from each other. My friend's mom moved in with her son after his partner left him... they're like two peas in a pod now! It's all about communication and respect, right?
