Honestly, multi-generational living can be really beneficial. Just not for capitalists.
Indeed. I mean, I’m assuming most of these people are doing this involuntarily, but if we are doing real talk, the idea of the single-family unit that can be plucked up and plopped down anywhere in the country is something that is mostly in service of capitalism, not necessarily for happiness of the individual, non-atomic-family cohesion, etc.
It seems like nearly all of the culture casts anyone that doesn’t leave their parents’ home by the end of high school or at the end of college as being utter failures and losers, and not worthy of romantic partners, or worthy of really any respect and so on. How much of this is orchestrated is hard to really say, but Hollywood certainly doesn’t help.
I think the tide is shifting on the cultural view of living at home being a failure. It’s incredibly important for the young adults in these multi-generational homes to actually act like adults - take care of the house chores without prompting, do their own laundry, live their life not as a child under their parent’s roof but as an adult sharing living space with other adults.
