Workbooks for the moment a home changes.

Nobody wakes up wanting a multigenerational planner. They wake up thinking my mother may move in, or it was supposed to be temporary. Each workbook takes one of those sentences and turns it into a conversation both people can survive — and a decision written down.

Plain words work best. Or start from one of these:

Collection One

How do we help without recreating the parent and teenager relationship?

Adult Child Moves Home

Still Grown, Under One Roof Again

A grown child is coming back — after a breakup, a layoff, a lease increase or a deliberate plan to save. These ten workbooks keep the arrangement adult: explicit about money, privacy and progress, and warmer than a lease.

Collection Two

How do two generations share a home while preserving autonomy and host-household authority?

Independent Parent Moves In

Still Independent, Now Under One Roof

An able, largely independent parent is joining the household — for companionship, cost, proximity or early support. Not a care plan. A household design, with the parent’s independence written into it.

See all ten →
Collection Three

What do we do next when a parent or parental figure living elsewhere has a change, concern or emergency?

Aging Parent Next Steps

Parent Care Changing Needs

The person still lives somewhere else. Something happened, or might. These ten workbooks organize the response and the conversation — they never diagnose, assess or stand in for a clinician.

Collection Four

How do grown housemates choose well, operate fairly and exit cleanly?

Roommate Over 30

Before You Split the Rent

Friends, cousins, in-laws, colleagues, strangers from a listing. Adults with jobs, ex-spouses, mortgages and video calls at eight. Ten workbooks that skip the chore wheel and deal with the actual friction.

How a workbook works

Every title in the catalog is built to the same five rules, in this order.

One situation. One completed plan.

A Roumo workbook runs twelve to thirty-four pages, adult in tone and neutral in voice — warmer than a lease, firmer than a family promise. It arrives as a fillable PDF and a print edition, so you can type into it or write on it at the kitchen table.

  1. Use this when

    The first page names the exact moment the workbook is for. If it isn’t your moment, you’ll know in thirty seconds.

  2. Answer separately first

    Where power or emotion is uneven, each person fills in the key pages alone before anyone compares notes.

  3. Choose from real options

    Menus, scenario cards and scales instead of a blank line labelled house rules.

  4. Finish with one artifact

    A decision record, a household plan, a handoff list — something completed, not something read.

  5. Set the review date

    Shared living is an experiment. Every workbook ends with a date to revisit it and a way to change it without a fight.

Buying

Buy the one you need.

Every workbook is sold on its own. Bundles exist where one situation reliably leads to the next — decide, then design; stabilize, then plan — and a bundle is a folder of separate files, never a merged binder. You should never pay for pages written for someone else’s household.

What these are not

A workbook is a conversation, held on paper.

Every Roumo workbook supports a household conversation and records what the people in it decided. It is not legal, medical, financial, tax, housing-rights or mental-health advice. Local rules and individual circumstances vary. When rights, ownership, care safety or a major financial commitment are involved, bring in a licensed professional.

If there is a threat, coercion, abuse or a medical emergency in the house, that is not a worksheet problem. Contact emergency services or a qualified professional.
