Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: Law free

[Katie Henry (katie-henry]

That was me in my former community. There should be a support group for the 
heavy lifters. However, I was never disillusioned by cohousing. By my fellow 
cohousers who never lifted a finger yet who felt free to share all the ways in 
which the community was failing to meet their needs, yes, but I was and 
continue 
to be idealistic and optimistic about cohousing.

Let me know where you live. I want to move THERE.  

In our law free situation NOTHING gets done. "Occasional person not 
pulling  their weight." How about the 

occasional persons who are pulling their weight and now are totally 
disillusioned by cohousing.

In the alternative, what about lightening up and just asking the occasional 
person who 

is not pulling his or her weight how life is going for them? Most people in 
law-free situations tend to more, rather than less, and the exceptions often 
have a reason, like health for example, that they don't want to talk about, but 
will if you try getting close to them first, you might find that you have 
increased the community bond rather than bonded the community.
