Comment on Why is living with your parents considered a bad thing?
mods_are_assholes@lemmy.world 4 months agoUm the kids and grandparents aren’t working, or to be more accurate: the grandparent’s job is taking care of the kids, and considering how expensive child care is, it’s cheaper just to give your granparents room and board. Plus they’ll love the time with the kids.
PLUS 2 incomes required for a family is one of the most destructive economic moves we have ever made, and it has done untold damage to our child raising practices.

What about uncles and aunts? Grandparents don’t just have one family to take care of. Also when I was born my grandparents were still working a long time, and now I have a son and his grandparents will be working for 15+years at least. I could never ever get my parents to move closer to me. Also they wpuld have to abandon my sibling who live closer to them.
