[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Opposition denies financial and logistical advantages of multigenerational living while supporters deny mental health disadvantages. If we look neutrally, there are pros and cons but its not a one size fits all hat, works for some, fails for others.

No “denies” it’s “cheaper” to live all your life in Mommy’s or Grandma’s house, with free cooking, cleaning, bills, and their health insurance. 
Not clear what “logistics” you are referring too…. being right by mommy’s teat? Throttling down your job or uni opps to 1 city?

Now one wants or prefers the codependency, stunted development, enablement and enmeshment that come with it, in the developed world. [/quote]

Why are you so hostile? I do not understand how you can judge multigenerational living with this broad brush of negative outcomes. What authority do you have to judge many well-adjusted families that follow this pattern? Talk about people having mental health issues... [/quote]

NP. Nothing to argue about PP. We all know it's cheaper to live with your parents for years after college, especially if they don't charge you anything or make you do chores.

But to claim that young adult college grads in America prefer that is silly. To claim those that are college grads living at home are "well-adjusted" is silly as well. They are just delaying being tested and maturing - living independently, paying bills, cleaning up, living with roommates, running a budget, solving conflicts, understanding insurance or utilities or payments or credit.
