I can understand single people in the cities leaving to go back home, but full on married couples with kids? Seems a bit ridiculous to me. But, I've never been the type to go run to my parents when things get difficult.
City living with kids during a pandemic must be awful. Trapped in a small apartment with no where to go. I grew up in city life. Our place was small with no yard but we had places to go. The park, museums, etc. With none of that open, and if my parents had a decent sized home with a yard, and they were ok with it, I would definitely move home to ride it out. My son was super active and hyper as a kid. I couldn’t even imagine living in a small Apartment with him for months without being able to leave. Then add in working plus trying to do virtual learning. IMO with family is the best place to be.
But again, this is normal in my culture. It’s really not a big deal and actually the elders get excited when they hear of “kids” and grandkids moving back home. It gives them a little spark. They usually love it.
