Relatives live together or across the door, is it good idea?

I kinda live with a family compound. That means my aunt;s house is also my neighbor and also my cousins. Actually, it has its ups and downs. Sometimes, they pick something that I can't do and they take care of the house when I have chores to do. We share food and meals and nobody gets hungry unless nobody cooks. Of course, food can also be the issue. Sometimes,they don't pull their weight and I don't pull mine. but' it's great for us in the weekends because everybody comes over for the big TV. Sometimes, I even joked that we shoudl have connected our houses. But it depends on how you get along with your relatives and how you pool resources and repsonsibilties. if you still can stand each otehr that is.

I think it's fun having your relatives live just right next to you. First of all, you have access for help whenever you need it: financially, morally, etc.. Another thing is, the more the merrier. It has always been fun for me hanging out with my cousins, well.. most of them. Some are older than me, and they're interested in other stuff, but some are about my age range, and we really get along pretty well.

There is always an advantage and disadvantage living or having relatives nearby. In times of troubles we can always ask some favor to them, but of course that still depends on how close the relationship is. If you are close with them, then that would be fine. But if not- then living with them or having them around is not comfortable.

I don't think it is an issue for me. In our country, the word family is so intact. If you have an issue with your sister-in-law, try to talk to her. You might work it out.

They say if you want to fight live together. I don't like to live with relatives except my single sisters in our ancestral house but other than them I don't have any intention of living with them. Yes, it is difficult to live with the in-laws, that's why I specifically said that single sisters and our ancestral house.

No I don't want to because no matter how good your relationship is, some problems will always come up and nothing is perfect or no one is perfect. I'm afraid that if something like misunderstandings will come up, it might not be fixed or if it will, there's already something to remember about, not healthy at all.

No, living with relatives is never a good idea. It strains the relationship, sometimes beyond repair. I live with my mom, and we try to get along, but we often butt heads. She is still my parent, yet refuses to see me as the adult I am. She is my Mom and I have to respect her and her house. Do I choose this way of life? No. Do I want my own home? Yes. I'm trying very hard to achieve that. From those looking in, it might not appear to be that way. I refuse to get help from dhs, so any money coming in goes to groceries. There is little if no child support, but I will not be a product of the government and I will get out of my Mom's house. I just have to be patient and keep doing what I am doing and eventually I will be rewarded.
