Tell us about multi-generation living

In Hawai'i, where the cost of housing is high, having three or more generations living under one roof is a common reality.

The 'Ohana section is working on a story about homes with multiple generations, so we want your letters. Please tell us: What are the pluses to living this way? Is there teamwork, a special bond or some other aspect you enjoy? And what are the drawbacks? Less privacy? Less room? Finally, what ways has your family found to cope with these challenges?

Write: Full House, 'Ohana section, The Honolulu Advertiser, P.O. Box 3110, Honolulu, HI 96802, e-mail ohana@honoluluadvertiser.com or fax 535-8170. Please include your name, city and daytime telephone number. Deadline: Tuesday, July 31.
