Jessica Constantinidis shares a four-bedroom house in north London with her husband, their 1 four-year-old son Tommy and her 79-year-old! mother Olive.
Jessica, 34, and Andy, 42, sold their three- | bedroom house in Turnpike Lane and moved in 1 with her mother, Olive Constantinidis, in nearby Tottenham, while they waited to find a buyer for her home.
When both residences sold, they were free to in the Finsbury Park area of London [CG].
Jessica says, "We've got a big house now which we wanted so that my mother could still have as much independence as possible. She can have her own area, with her microwave and her own TV. But we eat family meals all together at weekends."
Sharing with Olive enabled Jessica and her family to move into a larger and more comfortable house than they could have afforded on their own.
The new arrangement has proved an added bonus for Jessica and Andy's son Tommy. She says: "He loves it. My mother is really good with him and it is nice for him to have more than just two people around. They are always playing and doing things together and watching videos and she can keep an eye on him for us sometimes as well."
Though the prospect of living with parents or in-laws might not be to everybody's taste, Jessica has no regrets. She says, "If we hadn't moved in together as an extended family, we wouldn't have bought such a big house. It certainly worked for us in our situation and I would really recommend it."
