maybe it’s just a fantasy, but from my perspective, I cannot think of anything I would like more than a multigenerational household, if Im the oldest. not so much if i were in the middle. probably be great for the little guys.[/quote]
We did a multigenerational household for a little less than 6 months when we were looking to buy our house; partially to save money (at the start) and partially because it took us a couple months longer than we had expected to find a place.
It definitely wasn’t ideal for us in the middle. I think it would have been easier if it was our house we were letting the older generation move into and live with us. Even things like sharing one fridge for 4 adults and 1 child and dealing with parking with 4 cars were headaches.[/quote]
We are in this situation as well. In the middle, but the place is ours. We figured that it is cheaper than daycare. We rented them an apartment 1 mile away originally, but the lease ended and rents were rising. We rented a 4 bedroom place for us, but there’s constant friction between wifey and grandma. We are in escrow and waiting to move into a larger house for the 5 of us.
My wife said she needed the 3800 sqft place for her sanity since she started therapy. It’s her parents as well, not mine. Little guy is loving it though since he’s got 4 adults to himself and grandparents that spoil him.
