[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sounds like these dual working couples make it work with lots of childcare help from their parents and in-laws.

So are you all expected to care for them when they get old and are unable to live independently one day? [/quote]

This is another reason why they force them to work. They want them to take care of them when they are older and more money means a better life for them. It's like the elephant in the room no one admits. [/quote]

Seems like you come from a pretty uneducated/misogynistic family. It’s not like that everywhere FYI. My parents and ILs are very well set up for retirement and don’t need our $$, in fact they’re figuring out ways to pass their wealth onto us without burdening us with a bunch of assets in India that we have to maintain.[/quote]

NP You are fortunate to have parents/IL with such forethought. That is not the norm. Count your blessings.
- someone who's parents and IL's have bequeathed them many assets that will take a lot of work for us to dispose of[/quote]
