It's only relatively recently that westerners stopped living in multi-generational family homes. Though the early American idea of freedom required setting out on your own and becoming "self sufficient" the change only really began around the industrial revolution. Up until then children were expected to care for their parents in their old age as a matter of duty and love and had for centuries been expected to do so. Not caring or living with for your elderly parents really jumped up after the creation of social security and was at it's peak right after WW2 level. This changed a lot of our cultural expectations of children and parents drastically. I personally think we both gained and lost in equal measure with these changes. (Fun fact: the last big surge of multi-generational housing before WW2 was a period where three-deckers were popular with immigrants up through the 1910s. A nuclear family would live in one unit and rent out the other two to relatives. So of course xenophobes killed them with zoning) Multi-generational housing is on the rise again in the west due to high housing costs and other economic and social factors such as the cost and quality medical, child, and elderly care. Even married adults who don't live with their parents often live with roommates now a days. In places like Japan, the tradition of a wife moving in with her husband's family is often still practiced when the family is lucky enough to have a home with the space for it. The period of time where it was done more often than not is not as far removed as it is for us. I believe in 2001 58% of elderly people lived with at least one of their children compared to 17% in the US (and of course varies by cultural region) Even though the popularity of the idea that the oldest son has to live with and care for his parents is dropping rapidly it was still going pretty strong during the time this manga. So Haruko's situation would not be considered weird, or only occurring because she and her husband couldn't afford a place of their own. In other places like India it is still the expected norm for wives to move in with their husband and in-laws. Often times you will get generational clashes where adults who grew up and took care of their parents before them expect it to finally be their turn to be taken care of in the same way by children who want independence. I've seen this mostly with recently immigrated families, but also from long since immigrated families who had multiple generations in the lower 30% of income and their slightly more well off children.
