Family

Would you rather have to live move in with your nuclear family for the next ten years, or not see them at all for ten years?

Considerations:
  • Live with? Yes. This entails all the traditional things people (children) do with their families (including evening meals, vacations, bowling league, church, etc.)
  • "But I'd go crazy" That's the point. It's called a Ridiculous Hypothetical for a reason.
  • Never see them? Yup. Assume you (or they) moved to a different hemisphere and the flights/visas/etc. were prohibitive.
  • Even on Christmas/Thanksgiving/Groundhog's Day? Yup. You can call them on a regular basis, and can fully utilize all forms of electronic communication that would be reasonable. (i.e. no "Beam me up Scotty" transporter machines).
  • Your family includes all family pets (so the cat/dog/goldfish/ferret are going with them).
  • If you didn't see your family, you might miss them and be sad.
  • Your family might drive you insane.
  • Ten years is a long time. They might start dying off.
  • Ten years is a long time. You might be driven to suicide. Or homicide/matricide/patricide/fratricide.
  • Home cooked meals, no rent.
  • Microwave dinners, rent, sanity.
