Any mothers out there that have brought up their child/children at their parent's house?

I'm pregnant and have just turned 21 years old. I was living with the father for some time but we have recently split on good terms and I have moved back in with my parents and three siblings (one sibling is moving out in Sept). We have a very big house in a very good area and my child will have the luxury of having his/her own room and their own playroom. My parents are being very good to me and are helping me buy all brand new things etc. I am planning on waiting a few years until I get a career sorted out and am able to afford a decent house. Has anybody else done this? Thanks :)

I have been brought up at my grandparents' home and my mother and father visited me often... it was a nice, normal way of living and I enjoyed it (same as you, 'till they could afford a bigger house for all of us). So go ahead, because it's a wonderful solution!
my sister in law lived at home with her daughter until her daughter was about 10. the daughter is now 16 and the most pleasant girl you could ever meet. i think that extended families living in the same house is actually brilliant because there is so much support there for the mother, all the adults help out and any child that i know of who grew up in a home with 3 or more generations living together have grown into healthy, happy and succesfull individuals. one of my friends has a son herself now and there is 4 generations living in the home now. if you have the space in the house then it is an excellent move for both you and your child, and also his/her grandparents as they get to see and help out with their grandchild every day. mums living in homes with several generations also are a lot less likely to get post partum depression because there is so much help and support right there and the people around you will notice you feeling and acting differntly straight away and help you get better out of concern and natural instinct. i think you are making the right move.
I think its a great option to raise your child at home especially if you are not fianancially stable yet and your child needs stability and your parents can offer that. Another plus is that you will see the child all the time. All the best
