Frequently Asked Questions

1. Isn’t multigenerational living… hard?
I get it! Our living situation is unique—but it’s also awesome. Sure, it has its challenges (what family doesn’t?), but we’ve learned how to communicate better, create boundaries, and build a home that works for everyone under one roof. And yes, it’s totally worth it.

2. How many generations live together in your home?
We’ve got three generations living together—grandparents, parents, and kids all sharing life. It’s busy, beautiful, and sometimes loud, but there’s so much wisdom, support, and love flowing through these walls.

3. How do you make space for everyone?
Great question. It’s all about intentional planning—both physically (like room setups and shared spaces) and emotionally (clear expectations and lots of grace). We’ve found that when everyone feels seen and valued, space works itself out.

4. Do you ever get time alone as a parent or couple?
Yes, and it’s essential! We build in quiet time, date nights, and solo moments. Living with more adults actually gives us more support, not less—so we’ve learned to make the most of it.

5. Why did you choose this lifestyle?
Honestly, it just made sense. We wanted deeper connection, shared responsibility, and a way to raise our kids surrounded by love and legacy. It’s not always picture-perfect, but it’s incredibly rich and meaningful. 

6. Who cooks? Who cleans? How do you manage daily tasks?
We divide and conquer! Some days one person cooks, other days we tag team. We’ve created rhythms that play to each person’s strengths and availability. It’s a constant conversation, but shared responsibility lightens the load.

7. How do you handle expenses and bills?
Open communication is key here. Every family’s approach will be different, but we’ve found success with shared responsibilities and regular check-ins to make sure everyone feels comfortable and respected.

8. What if someone needs their own space?
Oh, we all need our own space sometimes! That’s why we prioritize boundaries—physical and emotional. We each have our own areas to retreat to, and we respect each other’s need for quiet or alone time.

9. What happens when there’s conflict?
We talk it out—sometimes awkwardly, sometimes tearfully—but always with a goal of understanding. Living together doesn’t mean we agree on everything, but it does mean we commit to working through it with grace.

10. How does your faith shape your home life?
Our Christian faith is the foundation of how we live, love, and lead in our home. We pray together, talk about what we’re learning, and try to model forgiveness, service, and grace for one another daily.

11. How do you raise kids in a multigenerational home without confusion?
It’s actually been a gift! Our girls are surrounded by love, wisdom, and different perspectives. We stay aligned as parents and create clear expectations—but we also celebrate the beauty of learning from multiple generations.
