This is the experience of a friend of mine who got married 3-4years ago, living in the family house which is been like hell for her.
Its a large family where her husband's sibblings (4men and 2 ladies), including cousins, aunts, uncles stay with their respective wives, in the same family house.
She never enjoys privacy. Her husband has not been working neither do the sibblings.(last boy and girl arent married yet).
They all depend on their father's wealth (money realised from land sale, house rent dues and agents & agreement) to survive.
The father made a statement which shows he has no will and is not ready to prepare any, & worst of it all, he does not really trust his children.
Life has been so frustrating for her.
Her husband's sister and 2 female cousins(each with 2 kids) have since left their marital homes and back to the family house causing troubles.
(sweeping, cooking, fuelling of Gen is done turn by turn in the house). Her friends are restricted from visiting except for neigbor friends.
she faith dwindles amd wonders what the future looks like for her family.
She realise that the day the father (almost 70yrs) dies, there is going to be catastrophe. None of them have anything of their own.
she is tired of family house life. What would you advise her to do?
In my opinion, large family house is not the best for young couples.
My friend is automatically entangled because she cant live the house.
