We live on a 'family compound' with my parents and siblings. It's made raising our daughter much easier.
My husband, daughter, and I live in a separate house on my parents' property. In total, nine family members and three dogs live on our "family compound."
Taylor Bunting and her husband live on a family compound with their parents and siblings. This arrangement has made raising their daughter much easier. The compound consists of two houses on the same property, home to nine family members and three dogs. Taylor's husband and she decided to build their own house on the property after their parents purchased a larger piece of land in their Massachusetts hometown.
The family enjoys spending time together, with shared spaces like a pool and detached garage. They never feel cramped, as they respect each other's boundaries. Childcare costs are significantly lower due to the close proximity to family. The family's parents never pressured them to move away for independence, instead encouraging them to stay close and grow together.
The husband is also thrilled with the arrangement, enjoying activities with his brother and his children. The family is considering expanding to a larger property in the future.
