“Sir, we’ve increased the rent again, as you’ve ordered.”
“Excellent. Now saturate the media broadcast telling them to start having lots of children.”
My partner and I moved in with my mother in law recently, after living on our own for 15 years, and it’s going good. The low cost of living with family means I can work at an animal shelter doing something I actually enjoy and not have to worry about not making enough money. If your family aren’t shitheads it’s not a terrible option.
To be fair people have lived in multi-generational households for most of history and still do in a lot of the world. Wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world to be a little bit more connected.
from all the people who grew up in dysfunctional families. NO, it’s a really bad idea. Blood relation is worth jack shit.
Sounds great unless you don’t really agree with them, and then you’re forced to stay with people that you are constantly arguing with, often without much of the outlet of other places to go that a lot of places that have had multi generational households have had.
Honestly, I believe in the three place theory. You need 3 places, one a home where you spend time with your family, one work where you earn money to support your life, and a third place to relax and relieve stress.
