>"I think that for the majority, living with parents when you are adult is a huge psychological burden." I don't think it's universal at all. I grew up in the US with grandparents and uncle and even great-grand parents at home, and it was great. Here in Taiwan, tons of people live in extended family homes, too. For the most part, it seems good for everyone involved. Grandma and grandpa can help watch the kids until the parents get home, so the parents don't feel so overwhelmed, the grandparents feel useful and get to enjoy family life, and the kids get more support... especially if there's also a younger auntie or uncle (with or without a live-in gf) there, too. It's a good system.
