When the comic strips reflect your real life
My parents and siblings are all laughing at the story line currently running in “For Better or For Worse,” which is one of the daily comic strips in The Monroe Evening News
The plot in a nutshell: mom and dad have a full house with an adult daughter who has temporarily moved home, a married son with his wife and children who also are living with them while looking for their next home, and a younger daughter who’s frustrated at her lack of privacy and space.
There is a two-bedroom house in the neighborhood that’s up for sale. At first, married son was looking at that property. Now, mom and dad are considering buying that home as their retirement home, and selling the family home to married son.
A similar situation happened with my parents and one of my sisters during late 2003 / early 2004 – three generations living under the same roof while a house swap was in the works.
Oh, yes, it was quite comical.
And they were all REALLY glad when everybody got settled into their respective new homes.

Paula,
It’s funny you mention this. In my family, my mom has always pointed out how similar our lives our to those of the “For Better or Worse” family. Some times it would get a little eerie how close it was to our actual comings and goings.
