I agree. But my goal was to not live with my parents. There is something healthy about wanting to live independently too.
I do think it can work well if everyone is contributing in some way ... for example if you are out of work you do most of the cleaning or lawn work, etc. Also another good thing is older parents living with their adult children instead of going into nursing homes. Who knows if my child would take me in when I’m old? I would hope so.
They are living with mom because dad would kick them out.
That’s what I tell me kids, you’d better study hard because you need to buy a big house so we can move in and they can take care of us when we get old.
