Determine why this arrangement is in place. Every living arrangement has its benefits and drawbacks, and in order for it to work, the benefits must be recognized and outweigh the drawbacks. When the going gets tough, remembering why you've chosen to live in a multigenerational household will help to cope with any conflicts that may arise. Some of the reasons families choose to live together are: • Parent(s) returning to school to further their education, save money for a home of their own, or get out of debt; living with other family members to cut costs, save money, and have trusted childcare.
•A big move, where one family unit lives with another family unit or member who is already in the area until they can become familiar with the area and establish their own home.
•A desire to live in an area with high housing costs. By having more family members live in a single house, the family can afford a nicer, larger house in a better neighborhood and with better schools than if they lived separately.
• Single parents who prefer to have their own parents care for their children, or who can't afford childcare.
•Elderly relatives who need to be looked after, and whose family either cannot finance nursing home care or would simply prefer to look after an elderly relative themselves.
•An emphasis on preserving cultural traditions and family roots.
•Unforeseen, unfortunate circumstances, such as the loss of a job, a debilitating injury, a divorce, an emerging disease, or a death in the family. An extended family living situation can provide a helpful cushion if and when such circumstances arise.
