[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That is one reason rich multi-generational household works so well.  Grandparent generation coordinate the outsourced stuff to serve everyone.  All family members can pitch in however much they can.  The parents can continue working without interruption and the kids grow up surrounded with family.

Cleaning, laundry, cooking, grocery, chauffeuring, party planning and catering, home remodelling, nanny, tutoring, landscaping...there is someone to coordinate that.

[b]Spoken like an Asian FOB. I’d rather work full time and do all of the above by myself than live with my Mother in law![[/b]/quote]

Here's the thing about those Asian grandparents - they act like servants and do not inspire the grandchildren. And then the grandparents are eventually are treated like servants.
I know one Asian family like this and the DIL and grand-daughter could not stand the grandmother who was basically a entity in the house but a non-entity. The grandmother kept doing things and cooking things they didn't want. Things got better between them all when the grandmother moved out.[/quote]
