My mom has been squatting in my apartment for a year and a half. I’m really looking forward to having my own space again. Neither of us chose this and it’s clearly affecting us mentally.
And yet, I wouldn’t go that far.

this guy shares the living room with his wife and mother-in-law, while their son gets the bedroom

lol that is a… fascinating living situation. I’m more than a little bit curious how that came about. How old is the son…?

he’s 16. high school is a big (and hardcore) deal in Korea & they want him to have his own space in order to study in peace. this living situation is also a result of their son, as they wanted a place in an area with great schools and hagwons - so expensive area. child first lifestyle basically, lmao.

Ah, yep, that checks out. Korea (and to a similar but lesser extent, Japan) is kinda wild like that. I heard about some stuff like that from my (Korean) ex’s extended family.

Living up to regional stereotypes of being space efficient!
