[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Have you talked to many old people in the US? How many of them wish that they could live with their children/grandchildren instead of living independently as long as they can (or longer)?[/quote] Of course, they want to live independently. [b]But there is a price to pay for independence - loneliness and a distance from children/grandchildren. And lack of support network.[/b] Asian and Slavic cultures don't have that problem. My MIL who lives in the same city sees her child and grandchild maybe once a month on average. In other cultures it would be unthinkable.[/quote] You keep saying that, but that doesn't make it true.[/quote] It is true. I see a lot of grandparents who only see their family a few times a year. I see these lonely grandmas everywhere. They are starved for a conversation.[/quote]
