I used to spend extended summers with my grandparents in Mississippi and then my grandmother would come back to Wisconsin and live with us for a few months.
So we both had had positive experiences and what it was like to have
Hands on
close by proximity.
and really a multi generational lifestyle that seemed natural and uh normal fit for us.
So it wasn't out of the ordinary.
But to really think about it in a practical way and for a modern area, it really took us to a different place of how we saw ours as adult children, how we saw ourselves as parents of our kids, and then as we how we saw ourselves of welcoming this whole extended idea of what it meant to be a family and how we could make it be as positive as possible.
Yeah, the first two things that always come up and I talk a lot in workshops and with clients about this is thinking about roles and boundaries.
Because oftentimes as adult children we have our lives in progress, we haven't lived with our own parents.
in X number of years.
I mean some of us
stayed at home longer than others.
Some of us left at eighteen or whatever the age was and we haven't lived in the same household for years.
So even though we know each other, our roles, our dynamic and our bound boundaries have shifted and we might not have really looked at that.
In a concrete way.
So when you think about having a multi-generational household, or you think about having a grandparent as a caregiver.
Of your children?
it really forces you to look at roles and boundaries.
And the role might be, you know, the grandparent looking at the adult child in the same lens as they did when they were, you know, a adolescent, a teenager, a college student, where as right now they have a whole family, they might have an entire career, they have a different life.
And that takes some conversations, that takes some time to re-get to know each other and to be open to what you learn about the other person, whether it be about the grandparent, whether it be about the adult child.
