How about the top end, with Grandma and Grandpa? The same conditions that make it attractive for the children to be under one roof, also make it attractive to keep the elders.
Where’s your faith? Your hope? Your charity?
faith hope and charity include the concept of raising your children to become independent adults, not permanent freeloaders on mama and daddy
emergency situations and health problems...such as with some elders, yes of course
those are special situations and good ones ...
i was talking about the inceasingly-usual case nowadays of parents letting adult kids squawt at mama and daddy’s home indefinitely into the kids’ 20.s, 30.s and even 40.s
this is nutz, imho... it certainly is very very bad parenting to enable adult children to remain dependant like they were still 6 years old
My husband and I left our parents to cling to one another. I’m pretty happy with that arrangement.
