Is this unusual? They live together over 2 years already but haven't engaged yet, of course the youngsters has their own bedroom and bathroom. So far the atmosphere is still good though.
This doesn't surprise me. Is very frequently the case with the poorer minorities. Have seen a lot more of the middle class marginalized in last decade or so...So many of the millennials really have some disadvantages compared to the Gen Xers when there was more work available and better wages back then. Even though wages dropped in a lot of areas, the cost of rental housing has gone up. Also have 3-4 year wait on Section 8 in most city areas too...Also have large number of middle class American students told not to use the US colleges for a while as there was a huge amount of harassment/discrimination in some schools so all the high performing on scholarships could even be ruined if they took scholarship to college in another state. Also have Pell Grant people ruined...There is no ONE reason why a person was mistreated at the colleges...But badly effects employ-ability of students and ruins ability to pass some of the more complicated college classes if there is big delay between high school and college. Get a large number of kids screwed into paying back student loans and harassed out of some colleges...It's a big burden.
Here it is common for young married couples with you children to move back not their parents basement and live for 5 years or so. Housing is very expensive as is education and healthcare. This is one way for young families to catch a break and start paying down these debts and potentially saving money.
My SO's son and his gf live with her. They are expecting their second child in a couple of months. The son and gf are also trying to straighten out their finances so they can get their own place. Both are working.
Despite modern cultural mores, in the past it was common for several generations to live under one roof. If it works for all parties involved, it's no concern of anybody else's in society to worry about it. Advantages would be sharing expenses, and always having someone around to babysit. Disadvantages.. lack of PRIVACY.
General concern about what? If "his parents" are OK with that, you should be to. Or there is more to the story?
No, there isn't more to story. They are all college-educated and working, certainly can't afford to live in a SFH by themselves. Each parent only has one child. Maybe I should say "care" instead of "concern".

Does it mean the couple are still cohabitants, don't get married even though they have children already?
