I really enjoyed your episode with Rhaina. Not to trip any terrible flashbacks, but for the 2020-2021 school year, four families from our pre-school formed a pod and hired a teacher to manage 7 kids, 4 of whom attended virtual Kindergarden at 3 schools. The parents took turns covering when the teacher was sick. I really appreciated being part of a deliberate, tight-knit group. After that experience I looked into co-housing & was fascinated to learn about a new writer friend’s experience moving into - and out of - co-housing during the pandemic. Watching both my 90+ year old grandmothers age (one still at home) has convinced me that I’m all in for setting up a household with a friend in my older age. I’d LOVE it if my own parents did this. Great episode!
Wow it really is a terrible flashback at first! But I totally get your point on appreciating the benefits of co-living. My grandmother also lived through her 90s and it looked so lonely to me. I'd also like to find a better way should I live that long (and my husband is gone).
