Depends on the reason for it.

Multigenerational homes were normal for my hubby’s family. But in that case the youngers moved in with the elders to take care of them.

I could see multigenerational working again, especially when you consider how huge homes are these days.

But I can’t see it going well if the youngers have been infantilized.

I grew up in a home with my parents and grandparents. As an ‘only’ until I was four, it was wonderful! My Mom worked, my Dad was completing his apprenticeships and I got to hang out with my Grandma and Grandpa all day. It allowed my folks to stash the cash and they bought us a house as soon as they could. There WAS an end-goal, unlike a lot of situations these days.

I do have an Aunt who still has one son at home with her. He’s well into his 30’s, but has had so many medical issues since birth that he needs a lot of care. I would do the same for my kid.
