[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Indian here, I fully plan to stay with my kids in later years helping them with childcare etc. My own parents stay with me, even if there is friction, it is better than everyone just being alone facing life.[/quote]

Inter generational living can be very helpful if it works out well which is probably a 25% chance.

However if their spouses have a say in this, there is a 75% chance that you may need to change your fully planned future. [/quote]

No kidding! If my ILs wanted to move in, I think it would spell divorce!  Especially, if they have old fashioned sexist views (they do).  When they stay with me for 2 weeks it is SOOO stressful, I drown myself in work and make every excuse not to be at home.  They have very old fashioned ideas of what a woman should be like and are very judgemental.  They judge me for all of this and I just don't care anymore what they think. (I used to want a close relationship, but now I don't want my kids to pick up their antiquated values).  After all, they've NEVER made an effort to understand me or my values.  This is just a one way street where all that matters is them and male voices.  Thank God they still live in their home country. We'll NEVER move there.[/quote]
