I know htis sounds weird, but a lot of countries, like my Costa Rican family, it's okay for a lot of people to share a house.

Here in America, its just me, my mom, my dad, my siblings when they lived here, and my grandmother when she was alive.

In Costa Rica, it's my uncle, his son, his new wife, her 3 kids, and my uncles mother in law ^^


So a full house is okay :]
But with my boyfriend, his grandmother has always lived independently.

* Who lives in your house?

* Is this acceptable in your culture?

Step-Father, Mother, Sister, Grandmother, Two Dogs, A Cat and Myself for the usual house.

Step-Mother, Father, Step-Brother, Sister, Two Dogs and Myself for when we go off to Dads.

Annndd....There are some others that are less common.

I suppose we have a pretty normal household.
American families like to have Nuclear Family units. Personally, I enjoy it.

Haha that's awesome! And hun...over here, ten people could live in the same house if the house is big enough and they cooperate with maintaining the house (i.e. buying food, cleaning etc. )

So far in my house only my mom, dad, sis and I reside in it but my cousin lives with her grandma, on the backyard there is a smaller house where her mom lives with my cousins brother and on the second floor of her gradma's house lives her aunt...It's awesome going there and having the whole family out and sharing an afternoon together 8D

I have 10 people living in my house currently.
My 2 Parents, 2 Grandparents, 3 Brothers plus me, My Auntie and Uncle.
My house is not big!! I'm pretty sure you could have as many as you want if you have enough room in your house. We're all family.

My husband and I. My son lives in Hallstatt, Austria, and my daughter lives in London. They are all here right now for my ex husbands funeral- this family reunion will be a interesting one.

I have a big family. I'm the only kid still technically living here, but at certain times of the year, we have all six kids (plus one brother-in-law) back in the house. My Grandma lives with us, and my sister's boyfriend is staying with us temporarily Add my parents and you have a full house.

Later in 2009 my boyfriend will be living with us until we can save up for first and last months rent on an apartment x3

Its going to feel awkward.

It's actually not that awkward for us. They've been dating for years--since I was in elementary school and I'm about to graduate high school now. He's already like a big brother to me.
