Great, helpful read on a timely subject! Based on extensive interviews, Newman gives sound, sensible, easily doable tips that cover every conceivable problem facing adult family members sharing the same space and everyone from grads to grandparents. Better yet, when it comes to the toughest situations, she gives options: Grown kid returning home, say, and not comfortable telling that parent with a tendency to micromanage "I'll ask for your advice if I need it"? Try "I'll feel so much better about myself if I take charge"--or any of the other alternates she suggests. Hard to see how you could implement even a fraction of her advice without making the experience of second-time-around living together easier, more enjoyable, and, just possibly, great family fun.
