My closest friends and I talk about doing this all the time! I already help with their baby on a regular basis, and we keep talking about moving in together (or very nearby) I most definitely believe it will be the future of things
I'm in, let's do it - modern female commune. I have been having so many conversations lately as well about normalizing alternative families. Especially after seeing other ways of familial living abroad and thinking about my own situation. Thanks as always for publicizing important topics :)
It's a really common word here in the Netherlands to describe so many different situations and experiences.
Here's a great video about happiness and how gezelligheid factors into the relatively high level of happiness in the Netherlands: https://youtu.be/_ryvl_EfRXY

I agree! I can't imagine a future where these newer dynamics aren't a part of it.

I've had so many women reach out out after this essay and say the same. We might be onto something here...
So many of those situations you described make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Reminds me of the word we have over here: gezelligheid.
Also: yes, that apartment is 100% swoon-worthy.
Had to look up "gezelligheid" and wow, what a word! Imagining these alternative ways of living make me feel the exact same way.
