My mother shared our home with our young children for the last ten years of her life. I can’t think of a better living situation than having three generations under one roof. Our modern culture is the anomaly.
[quote=CA renter]Personally, I like the idea of living with multiple generations, if the houses are designed for it. We’d like to do that ourselves. [/quote]
We built a separate 1br casita (granny flat/companion unit) for my in-laws to live in. Not the most cost effective solution – but it fits our family. And it was designed for wheelchair accessibility – so my IL’s quality of life dramatically improved. My kids enjoy having their grandparents live adjacent to our house AND are getting a good lesson in family taking care of each other.
