[GrandMoM]

do you think we will ever get to the time when elderly parents live in their kid's house?....sad to say, things are different now and I really want to put that burden on my children. My husband and I bought Home Health Care insurane so we don't have to go to a convelesant home or our children's home, we can die in our own. It's kind of like hospice, but we pay for it. I am hoping they will be around alot when that happens though.

I don't really mean sick or invalid parents, even though my grandmother died of cancer while living in our house....we had three bedrooms for the entire rest of the family of which there was 8, and it was crowded!!!!!

but for elders and their children to live together would mean certain things....

#1 the father is the head of the household...not the grandfather...

#2 no interference in raising the kids....#3 dissrespect for grandma and grandpa would not be tolerated....

we have grown into such a "Me first" and "my way or the highway" and "the hell with you " attitude among All people, that yes, it could be very difficult to do....
