Should the Older People Live with Their Adult Children
Nowadays, it is heatedly discussed topic to many families that whether or not the older people should live with their adult children. Although my family is not a nuclear family—we live with my grand ma, I think it is better for them not to.
First, it may interfere in adult children’s independence and freedom. The situation will be worse if the adult children are already married. When the relationship between in-laws and the parents is not harmonious, the sons or daughters of the parents will be in an embarrassing situation.
Secondly, people of different ages have different ways of life. Furthermore, people of different generations have different views and values.
In short, it would be a better picture if the parents and their adult children do not live together: both the old and the young can enjoy complete independence and freedom, lead a life they like, and keep intact their affections for each other.
