Has economic necessity led to you living in a multi-generational or extended household? How does it work: an overwhelming challenge or pleasantly rewarding? Have your grown children refilled the 'empty nest' because of unemployment? Have you decided to take in a lodger or are you now sharing your home with a foreign student? Do the financial benefits outweigh the loss of privacy? Jenni Murray talks to listeners about the ups and downs of sharing a home.
