This thanksgiving, many families are closer than they’ve been in years. An increasing number of extended families across the USA are under the same roof living together. These arrangements are multigenerational, with adult children, grandchildren or an elderly parent sharing quarters. The reasons are economic and social.
"This is a pattern that will continue," predicts Neil Howe, a historian and economist. " High rates of multigenerational family living had been a norm until after World War II, when the emphasis shifted to the nuclear family enabled by construction of interstate highways, the rise of suburbs and the affluence(富裕)of young adults. But by the late 1950s and 1970s, there was a generation gap and almost generation war ," Howe says. "There was a time in the 1970s when no one wanted to live together. Seniors were moving to Leisure World to get away from the culture of the kids. Couples were divorcing and youngsters wanted to
strike out on their own
. But now, many young adults do return home, at least temporarily . "
Michele Beatty, 54, of Waynesville, Ohio, and her husband, Cordon, 56, had an empty nest between the time the youngest of their three sons went to college and the return of their oldest, Patrick, who left his job as a graphic designer.
" They said, ’you can come home to your old room and continue to look for employment, ’"says Patrick Beatty, 28. "I was stuck there. We were all brought up with the cultural expectation that once you leave the nest, you are not supposed to return. I feel part of the time like a burden," he says. " I try to contribute to the house when I can. I try to stay out of their way as much as possible. It ’s home , but not the home I’d be building for myself if I had my way ."
A survey of 2, 226 adults, done by Narris Interactive for the non-profit Generations United, found that of those in a multigenerational home, 40% reported that job loss, changes in job status or unemployment was a reason for the living arrangement.
