Old person stash FTW! That’s all good stuff!

Get ALL of the old stories! Pops can tell you how it used to be!

Multi generational households used to be the norm here, and are still the norm in many places. Where I live it’s more common for adults to live with their parents. I was actually kind of jealous of work friends who lived at home because often their parents are semi-retired and make them dinner!

That would be the Christmas day I was making creamed pearl onions on the gas stove, wearing a fuzzy terry bathrobe, and I set myself on fire. All the little fuzzy bits caught fire and I was covered in flame in seconds. I made a sound like “Eep! Eep! Eep!”, took one large step back and threw myself on the floor.

He smells like the best Pop-Pop in the world.

Oh my gosh! Did he stockpile prednisone?!

Grandparents are so random. Black pepper and Pine Sol, lol. Your home will be woodsy fresh and your food will have a savory kick!

Having my mom around when I had The Spawn was wonderful. Even if she didn't fold the onesies all in the same direction.

One Thanksgiving, my housemate and I decided fuck it, let’s cook Chinese food. We made a huge elaborate feast. We invited my boyfriend, and my housemate’s mom. This was made a little odd by the fact that the housemate was my former boyfriend. We just kept living together after we broke up.

We found 16 bags of fish fry mix and no fish.

Make sure you closely guard your mental health. I am currently clawing my way out of a brutal depression exacerbated by living with family. (not that they’re doing anything particularly wrong- it just gets really stressful).

Yes. I live with my mother, stepfather, and brother now, but we did live with my mother’s mother until she died. It was sometimes stressful, but we try to make sure to give one another a lot of space. I think it’s sometimes nice to just hang out and watch tv with the grandparent, if that’s their thing. Grandma…

This did make me laugh. My son needs naked time daily. Yesterday he was home sick from school (we’re a day ahead here), and he just said “i’m too sick to wear clothes today.” he’s 8. i’m thinking he might not outgrow this. I’m ok with that. I need my naked time, too.

I am currently living with my parents, also not exactly how I pictured my life going. It sounds like you are really good at making the most of it, something I am still working at. I mostly struggle with what I imagine other people must think, when I am able to let go of that I am okay. And my parents have two sweet…

Sorry you aren’t feeling well. Pro tip: as long as you are rummaging in the freezer for vegetables, try the vodka! :)

My mom and I have spent the day with moving my grandpa’s stuff out of his townhouse and getting him ready to move in with us. By us, I mean my mom, my son, and me. A four generation clown car house. Life is not going as planned, but I am happy and think it will be so much better for him than being alone.

So sorry! That sucks. It sounded like things were going well for you guys, and I know you’re bummed.

Wow, this was an intense read. I don’t know what to do with my feelings about it.

My thoughts exactly.
