First Ever Blog post
3/9/2010
I have thought alot about writing a blog because living with a parent in a complete roll reversal has been such a journey. So many intense feelings and learning experiences. So many things I never thought I would do and learned to accept doing.
When I have talked about this with other people my age, it seems like many of us have chosen to live "intergenerationally", for a variety of reasons.
For us, it was a mixture of finances and convenience. At the time of the original move, we lived a 60 mile round trip apart. As my parents independence lessened, we spent alot more time driving. So back in 2008, this idea came to me, "with a few changes to the house, Mom and Dad could live with us, we would all save lots of money and they would always have someone around." More on the process at the next post.
