[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't this cultural?   My uncle and his wife lived in the same house as my grandparents until my grandparents died in their 90s - eg. almost all their life.  Admittedly they had the upstairs and my grandparents had the downstairs so separate living areas  but nothing wrong with this arrangement.

Totally fine for an adult to live with their parents. (I wouldn't want to do it with mine but that's because they actually WERE abusive.)  [/quote]

+1 and as housing becomes more and more unaffordable the multigenerational household is going to get a lot more common.

We had neighbors in the 80s-90s whose daughter moved home when she divorced with a small child. She appreciated the support and help with her daughter, she later cared for her aging parents. My mom and sister recently bought a house together after my dad died so they could live together. When my mom grew up she lived in a duplex where she and her parents were in the upstairs unit while  her grandparents and unmarried aunt lived in the unit below her. It can foster close relationships, if everyone gets along, and is more the norm for human relationships than the independence-for-all model of the last half century or so.[/quote]
