The idea
About four in five single-parent households are headed by women, and multigenerational homes, including skipped-generation households, have nearly doubled in fifty years.
In practice
A grandmother, her adult son who has moved back, and his teenage daughter sharing one house.
Where people slip
Multigenerational living is commoner among Asian, Hispanic and Black Americans, and most residents find it rewarding.
