I think there's a stereotype heavily promoted in the US that the generations cannot get along under the same roof, and that multi-generation families are always cauldrons of tension. Which of course does happen, but honestly I don't think it happens nearly as often as we're told.

One of the main reasons I never left is I actually *like* my parents. (And my grandmother when she was with us.) They're kind, funny, interesting people.

Yeah, I live with my parents now since they're both in their 80s and while they're in good health overall, they need help with some basic household stuff just because they're older. I don't mind living with them because like you, my parents are interesting people and I love getting to have conversations with them about things. They're people I would enjoy talking to and being around even if we WEREN'T related.

If I liked my parents and we got along like friends do, I wouldn't mind living with them and helping them with things as they get older. This system would be great for older people who have plenty of money but can't keep up with stuff like household maintenance, driving, managing finances, etc. The younger generation could assist with that, in exchange for financial support and a comfortable, safe living situation.

My parents aren't like that, unfortunately. That cauldron of tension you speak of... yeah, that's what it's like. Only the cauldron would erupt in fights and yelling on a regular basis. I love them, and I see them in moderation because that's best for everyone. If I had to live with them, the uneasy truce of our relationship would blow up in our faces.

Happy to hear you weren't in an abusive relationship, unlike some of us, who needed to get out and stay out. Fuck you.
