Nothing wrong with extended families living under one roof, it used to be the norm.

Yes, indeed. And grandparents would help watch over their grandchildren.

But, boy howdy. If one member of the extended family would have a beef with another member of the extended family, then sparks would fly. Dinner time would be conflict time. “You were wrong about that thing five years ago.”

That’s what happened in my family - solved by half the family moving out. Sad, actually.

Side note: I grew up in an Hungarian-American family. Long-term grudges seem to be an ethnic trait. Looking back, I’m surprised things stayed so peaceful for so long.
