Three generations under one roof !!!!

When anyone encounters this question, only a catacomb of not so fruitful set of discussions and views are the resultant. Hence before I actually blurt out what I feel I wish to elucidate on what each of the generations is kind of, of course from the very little that i know. The youngest set of generation feel much less loyalty to any set rules or institutions than the older generation. They also want to be under the so called responsibility related brackets and expect to have input right away, whereas the older set expect people to earn their way up. The striking feature is that of the middle cohort, that tends to be anti authoritarian and mostly idealistic. They are ambitious, flexible, productive, self-sufficient, and express a more of people-oriented nature. On the other hand scrutinizing the youngest set, they distrust leadership, are juggling busy lives, and demand merit-based systems and participative management. The older generation trusts authority, respects rules, and are loyal to institutions. They expect people to "pay their dues" before being given authority. They place great value on financial security and may be uncomfortable with the ambiguity that is common in the contemporary set ups. They also tend to have stronger social skills than their younger counterparts. Never to be denied is the fact that with two or three generations living under one roof, families often experience more flexible schedules, quality time with one another and can better juggle childcare and elder care. Of course many may not express agreement on this and cite issues like privacy, independence, time compromise and so on that i sincerely wish to bury my head in the sand to avoid.

After all this hardcore analysis sessions, the question that pops out is that is the middle generation trying to imbibe the qualities of the older generation and making attempts to pass it on to the next one, or are they responsible in bringing about the restlessness and aggression in the younger set. Firstly you have to agree with me that it is a not much of a task to balance the two under one roof. Though the fear of breaking the traditional set up is there on one side and the challenge to bring up the youngest with the immune nature from societal vices, on the other, oblivious attitude to petty things may be of great help. The role of a householder and that of a career practitioner, swaying with the wind of change , not uprooting from the roots of tradition is what is required and hence is the biggest challenge too.
