Christina Michel is 24 years old, She works in PR and recently got married. However, she and her husband still live with her parents. And the household doesn't finish there. Also sharing the family home are Christina's grandparents, uncle, and a younger brother. Every night the whole of the extended family sits down to eat together round the table in the bright and cosy kitchen.

More and more families WIll turn to this kind of one-for -all-and-all-for -one-style existence in the new millennium. According to researchers, households of three or even four generations will become typical. Their report suggests that this will be as much down to economics as free choice, as the cost of living keeps rising.

It's a trend that suits Christina perfectly, She finds living in a multi-generation home quite normal because of her Greek background, and the rest of the family are equally enthusiastic about the arrangement. Christina's grandparents, who are getting old, can be looked after. as can her uncle, who is mentally handi- capped.

ChristIna's husband, Kypros, 25, a technical consultant. only laughs when he is asked about living with his in-laws, as he is sure that most people wouldn't believe he is happy with the arrangement too.

Christina's father, George, 51, is a fishmonger. He is up every day at 3 a.m. to buy fish at Billingsgate Market, and he insists that the family sits down together to eat each evening.

According to John King, deputy managing director of general insurance in one of the most popular British banks, plenty of families will soon find themselves forced into this lifestyle by rising house prices, the cost of childcare, and the cost of caring for elderly relatives.
