This study aims to explore the experiences of adult children and parents who live together. In recent years, living with parents or adult children has become increasingly common in Europe and the UK. Most studies look at economic and social reasons for this living arrangement. They pay less attention to people’s personal experiences and family relationships. 

This research looks at what it means for parents and adult children to live together. I also want to understand how they view their experiences in a society with different expectations about living arrangements. 

You can join if you are an adult child living with one or both parents. You can also join if you are a parent living with one or more adult children. You do not need to take part with other family members.

To take part, you must:

• Be aged 18 or over; 

• Identify as an adult; 

• Live in England; and 

• Either be an adult child living with one or both of your parents or be a parent living with one or more of your adult children in the family home. 

You cannot take part if:

• you are under 18;

• do not currently live with your parents or adult children; or 

• if the main reason for living together is that a parent needs substantial care or support because of illness or disability.
