[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are immigrants settled in DMV area. We do not have a "home town" to return to.  Our kids may decide to settle down here when they are ready for kids.  And they have free home for the rest of their lives with us.  They can live with when they are single, married, with kids, with pets etc - because this is their home base and sanctuary.

The reason I am willing to do all this for them  is because they are good kids, high achievers, family oriented, moral, hard workers and pleasant, well-adjusted individuals.  [/quote]

This is my position, as well. This is their home, their sanctuary. But intergenerational living was common on both sides of my families (grandparents were immigrants, as well). It is helpful for everyone. [/quote]

Same here although I'm a first/second generation family.  Intergenerational living is well received in my family, as is living more independently, just depending on personal preferences and what makes the most sense a the time.  I view my home as our home, and our kids are welcome here any time for as long as they need.  That said, we expect and receive kindness, love and good will from each other and our kids receive the same from us (other than the normal intermittent difficulties that we generally work out pretty well).  I might feel differently if my kids were different people, or I felt they needed a loving nudge out of the nest, but they are independent, competent, hard-working and directed, so I'm not predicting that will happen (though who ever knows?!?)[/quote]
