Living with the in-laws
October 18th 2006 09:40
It's quite a common practice in the Asian culture for the parents to move into the home of their eldest child (or only child). Well, maybe not so common anymore as most of them prefer to have a place of their own (most probably a place which they bought while their children were growing up). But really....is this living arrangement a good idea?
Yes, while it shows some form of elderly respect to look after our parents after what they've done for us....but there are other ways to do this ritual, I'm sure. For example, maybe get them to live next door (Think, 'Everybody loves Raymond') or the next suburb or something like that. See, while they're not living under the same roof, but still easily reachable in case anything should happen or if they fall ill and needs to be taken care of. And yes, it still solves our daycare problems as well, because I'm sure grandma and grandpa would only be too happy to take care of the little tart whilst mom and dad are away at work
