[quote=Anonymous]American families value isolation and individualism. A lot of grandparents do not want to take on high level responsibilities in raising grandchildren. A lot of people don’t want their parents living with them unless they are at the point where they are aged and need elder care. A lot of cultures have multigenerational homes, we don’t really do that here. We soon might be forced to due to cost of living, but it is not desired by most people.[/quote]
