My family of 5 lives with my in-laws. The more I protected my own balance, the more I noticed the pressure on my husband.

• Living in a multigenerational home has presented unique challenges for me.
• I set boundaries to manage household responsibilities and protect my well-being.
• But I’ve also noticed that much of the burden and responsibility falls on my husband.

Over time, we have both realized something important: understanding each other’s burdens matters just as much as sharing them.
