[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Multi-generational family is the only good solution I see. But, to decide to become a multi-gen family, to allocate duties and resources in an equitable fashion, for everyone to agree and comply for communal good when still young and healthy - all of this requires a level of being functional that is rare. [/quote] It works when elders actually help their adult children with child rearing and chores while able and then the adult children feel grateful to return the favor and care for them. Too often many of us practically raised ourselves and were expected to serve the needs of our parents in childhood. Our parents made it clear they were not helping when we had our kids and then suddenly they expect to have us drop everything for them while we still have our kids. Yes it's beautiful when everyone thinks they have a giving role before they take, but sadly there are a lot of people who are just takers.[/quote]
