Right now, just one, but in a week I will move back in with two family members, making it 3.

Me, my spouse, adult boy child and his girlfriend. We waggishly refer to them as our roommates, and are counting the days until they “launch”.

If you’d asked a month ago, my answer would have been multigenerational. But daughter and SIL have moved into their first home, taking their daughter, dog, and cats with them. Our home is ours again! WOOHOO!!! :smiley:

My vote was “multi-generational family”. My mother and I live together in a trailer outside my landlord and landlady’s house. For tax and legal purposes, it’s just the two of us. We buy our own groceries, pay for our own car, buy our own gas.

Inside the house, it’s the landlord and landlady; two of their three adult children; and two roommates living there full-time. Their adult children have shared custody of teenage children of their own (one each). And we have another guy living farther away, on the same property, in another trailer.

There are many dogs on the property, some of which live in the house and others living in a kennel. There are two or three horses, and the other trailer guy has a 9-week-old kitten.

So that makes 11 total human beings.

In retrospect, the poll should have had a “1+ (single parent)” option. Huge omission.

Also: “It’s complicated (explain)” I suppose.

I live with my gf in a large house on a “hobby farm”.

1+5=6

Just me.

I have been living on my own for 16 years and I’m happy with it.

Me, myself, and I.

Please clarify? How are schizophrenics and multi-personalities to be counted?

3+ (roommates)

My wife and I, ever since our youngest daughter left for college in 2005. Not counting them coming back for summer or time between moves waiting for the visa for my son-in-law.

Due to short-term necessity that has turned into an eternity, I had to move in with housemates five years ago. I was hoping by now to have my own place again, but still no prospects for that even after all this time. Currently there are three others here along with me.

Roughly 6 months prior to Covid, we invited our college-age daughter to return to the house. Due to crime rates and other changes near the campus, we thought it better to do the 50 mile commute than live there. As you might guess, this decision saved a f-ton of room/board money now that all classes are virtual, and we don’t even have to spend the gas/toll money.

So we went from empty nesters to a household of 3 for a short time. Next fall she heads off to her PhD program many hundreds of miles away and we return to just two in the house.

Just the two of us (couple). :two_men_holding_hands:

Got a roomie, but we ain’t a “couple.”

So vote “2 (roommates)”. That’s why it’s there.

Sorry, completely missed that. I saw 1…2…and voted 2, figuring the next one could only be 3…

(I blame the poll design 10% and me 89%.)
