Extended family living

[WaulML6]

Do you have family living with you due to economy, loss of job, etc?

Nope but I would be open to it the more the marrier and the more money you save!!!

No but until just a few weeks ago we were living at my mom's house to take care of her and my dad who had just had surgery.  We were there for almost three months.  I guess you could save some money if you didn't have two houses, but I would be insane if I had to live there permanently.

Yes, my older brother. His wife decided she wanted to separate and they were evicted from the place they were renting. He's working a part time job but plans to look for another one as well. She has their 2 teenage boys. Right now they are at her daughter's place. I've been talking to my brother and trying to get him to trust God and start his life without her. She has been loving and then mean to him which is causing him to stay confused. My hubby and I told him that he needs to go to counseling. Hopefully he will. My family can't keep bailing him out. Keep him and his family and mine in your prayers. God Bless everyone on FC

Very sad twelton.  I think this is so common and I read an article recently that hard economic times are splitting families because of the stress and that there is a huge spike in suicide and mental illness.  In fact, it said that suicide has recently taken over as the #1 cause of deaths involving injury.  It now surpasses car accidents.  Very sad. 

I also saw a show on HGTV not too long ago about a large construction company that only builds multi generational homes.
