[quote=Anonymous]In my parents' condo complex I can think of at least 3 family groups where the parent/s and at least one child live in the same building or adjacent building. These are people I only know from happenstance, like we meet in the elevator, so I can imagine that the actual percentage is pretty high. There also are a lot of siblings who live in adjacent condos. To my knowledge there also area lot of arrangements where a parent and child are sharing a condo. I think this works for people who have good relationships. They may not be perfect relationships but the people tolerate each others' idiosyncrasies and give each other the latitude to be a little weird (because, frankly, we're all a little weird). The poster who keeps saying it is "unhealthy" obviously has some mental health issues herself so it would not be a good arrangement for her. I would do it, OP. My FIL lives with us and it has been a wonderful experience.[/quote]
