It creates a lot of pain when you need to connect these networks to each other, though. Admittedly, that's probably not a problem for parents, friends, etc.
At my Old Job I demanded we keep a "registry" of the RFC1918 address space we allocated to Customers. We never allocated Customers in overlapping address spaces. It made VPN connectivity to Customer A while on-site with Customer B much easier. It also helped out in one case where one Customer acquired another.
