Not really. Problematic relationships between parents and their children are very common. It's a valid point against multigenerational homes.

- kristofferR 3y agoAnd I'd argue that multigenerational homes makes problematic relationships much more likely. Annoyances that are easily tolerable when you meet up occasionally are massively amplified when you encounter them all the time. I have a lot of friends that I love, but very few I would tolerate living for months with... And you can choose your friends, you can't choose your parents/kids.
- rightbyte 3y agoYou can't really choose friends though. You can turn down people to not be friends but not unilateraly "choose" them to become friends.
- busterarm 3y agoI'm the fulltime caregiver for an 80+ year old parent with NPD and dementia after a stroke. She had to move in with me after essentially becoming destitute. It's been extremely trying and I wouldn't wish my situation on anyone. There is no upside, other than knowing that I live by my values. Many, many days it feels like that's not good enough for what I have to endure.
