Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Is living cooperatively an ideology of itself?

[JazzUptown (JazzUptown]

Being cooperative....this subject has been coming up a lot lately in my home.  
My sister moved in with me two years ago and my daughter moved in four months 
ago.  My sister is so self centered and will not even eat with us.  I have had 
to adjust to her lack of cooperative living...she has no pricipals..she would 
rather go out to eat junk food than eat a home cooked meal.  I am learning a 
lot from this all...sometimes she does not want to even say good morning.  It 
is very strange but I'm learning that I go out of my way too much to 
accommodate.  I feel that cooperative living is something that is real...and 
that people have to make efforts to intiated group activities...breaking of 
bread, taking on cultural activities, and learning and exploring life together. 
 Life is to be shared.

REgards,

Linda Fletcher
