as someone just trying to get through the day, this stands out.. everyone's gonna dogpile the petra bit. A lot of frustration comes from the basics not lining up. ugh.

Morning coffee and Petra Bagust... this should be an interesting take. Intergenerational living is a real challenge in NZ right now.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-13T17:21:28.861Z

Love this! We've got three generations under one roof and it's tough but so rewarding.

Hana Stewart2026-06-13T17:27:28.861Z

here! It's not easy but the kids love having grandma around.

Reese Morgan2026-06-13T17:29:28.861Z

Yeah nah, each to their own but I couldn't do it. Need my space.

Reese Morgan2026-06-13T17:34:28.861Z

to their own I guess. But yeah not for me.

is out of control. This might become the new normal.

Hana Stewart2026-06-13T17:54:28.861Z

tbh my mum moved in last year and it's been a rollercoaster. Worth it though, saving on rent.

Kai Thompson2026-06-13T18:09:28.861Z

Just watched the video. She makes some good points about boundaries. That's the hard part.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-13T18:19:28.861Z

are key! We have family meetings every week to keep communication open.

Sophie Ngata2026-06-13T18:29:28.861Z

Petra always speaks so calmly about stuff. Wish my family could watch this together lol

Anyone else think the govt should do more to support multi-gen homes? Like tax breaks or something?

Hana Stewart2026-06-13T18:59:28.861Z

Agreed. A grant or something would help a lot of families.

You feel this kind of change immediately when you are out and about.. wait till facebook gets the petra headline NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. A lot of frustration comes from the basics not lining up.

this feels pretty close to what people are actually dealing with. It usually comes down to whether it makes life easier or harder.

evanorth2026-06-14T06:55:28.861Z

This is exactly the kind of thing younger people notice quickly.. wait till facebook gets the petra headline NZ Herald group chat is gonna go off. The long game matters more than a quick headline cycle.
