Actually that’s always been the norm. Before the 50’s, working families lived together under the same roof, or at least in near proximity from childhood to old age. Only middle class (which doesn’t really exist anymore) and rich elites have ever had the money to buy their own house buy age 30.
I have been gathering my genealogy and have come up with a different story. My ancestors married, moved to their own house, had six children, then divorced. Husband moved to a new place and remarried and had more children. First wife raised the children, then her parents moved in and the children scattered to new homes and spouses and repeated the process. Not too many ever stayed in the same house and location.

oh, the horror (I’ve a 50/51-year-old cousin and his 44/45-year-old younger brother who still live with their 80-year-old mother)

ThataDad, just start practicing these magic words: Get Out Or Pay Rent. Stay and your High Schools Rules remain in effect.
Worked fine for all three of mine.
