First let me say that I love my family more than anything in this world. I feel I have to get that out there, because I am likely to complain quite a lot in this blog and I don't ever want this to be in question.
So, who am I? The name's Amanda. I'm 31 and have been married for almost eight years. I have a beautiful 10 month old daughter. I grew up in a multi-generational household, being raised by my mother, grandmother and uncle (mother's younger brother). My daughter is now growing up in much the same manner; living in the home my husband and I purchased last year with us, my mother, and my uncle.
Our four bedroom home is full. Generally it's full of laughter and love, but quite often there are small tensions and hurt feelings that just ... well, they drive me crazy!
It's no wonder that the journal Heart published a story in 2009 that stated that women (and only women) who live in multi-generational households are more likely than other women to suffer heart-attacks/problems.
Welcome and I hope to hear comments from others of you who live in similar situations. Any advice is welcome!
