Would you be willing to let your parents or parent live with you?

As hard as it is for me to get along with my mother I would still have to say that yes I would let her come to live with me if she really needed to. Her and my dad would be able to live here if it was necessary, but I don't see that ever happening. At least not in the near future. I can't see my mom ever living with me, my brother has always been her favorite so that would probably be her first choice sad to say.

certainly i would help my parents because they have been very helpful to me! i wouldnt mind if one or both of them came to live with me...i would look for a place with an in-law suite, then they could have their own space and wouldn't feel like they are intruding!

I will always welcome them! but, if they turn out to correct me whatever am I doing to my kids or in the house, I will talk to them and ask them to let me run the house and if ever they have some suggestions, I am most willing to listen and accept it once I know it is also better than what I am doing. And ask them not to correct me in a way that will hurt me or in a way where my kids will lose their respect on me thinking I am not capable and what I'm doing is wrong! I'm sure they will understand!

I would be most willing to have my parent/s live with us. Whether it was temporary or long lasting... whether for financial reasons or health reasons... not matter the reason. I believe it is not only my duty as their child, but also my honored privilege.

There is nothing wrong in living wjth someones parent.

Here in Philippines, we have a very close family ties and we don't separate from our house until we get married or unless we're really able to have our own house. yes i will let my parents live with me. They are my parents and of course as their daughter, i can't bare to put my parents to some shelters. and i won't let their last years to be in lonely places.

With out a second thought. In fact we had all lived together. My husband and I lived with them when I got pregnant with our first child. Later in life they lived next door to us and we took care of them until they passed. But I think the did as much for us as we did for them. They were truly my best friends. I miss them every day.

I wouldn't mind letting my mother live with me. After all she did give birth to me and I will always be grateful for her giving me the chance to live. I think that all families fight and have a hard time living together. Me and my mom don't fight as much we just disagree on some things. Now that I am 19 and am considered and adult we have a different relationship than before and we don't disagree on much things anymore. most of the time I am the one that is giving her advise on things and it's a really good relationship. So if it came that I wouldn't mind letting her live with me. Although that won't be possible anytime soon because I'm the one that is still living with her.

I think I will let my parents live with me,because they give me life,and they bring me up,they give me too much that I should take responsibility for them~

Well Rachel..that would be a massive decision to make...for me a fairly easy one..i just have Mum..and we all get on very well...we have lived with her for months at a time when she has been unwell...so to live with her or vice versa wouldnt be difficult for us. But if it was going to cause a lot of friction..then i think you would have to look at the other options available to you and them. There is always a way out of financial difficulty...so going to seek advice from someone trained to deal with debt would be a step in the right direction...then if they could look at the possibility of renting somewhere tiny for the two of them..maybe they would get help with their rent.... If it was going to cause problems with you and your family...it would only add fuel to the fire...and make things worse then ever. Maybe they have bvrought you up and you feel you owe them something ,but that could be done...by helping them find their independence...and helping them through the crisis they would be going through.

yes, this is some of my dreams,i want to one day,i can buy a big house let my parents to live in,and if it can ,i would like to live with,because they paid so much for me in their whole life,so want to live with them,and i believe i can.and now i am in another city to searth my college study,so the limit to stay with parents,makes me know how i should cherish this opportunity!

I would definitely be willing to let my parents live with me. I owe them so much for giving me so much over the years. I will never be able to repay them for all they have done and whatever they want i will be happy to do. My parents might not be in terrible financial trouble at the moment but they are so easy to get along with. I feel as if i can tell them anything and trust them to do anything. My dad especially would never be in financial trouble but even if he was i would trust him to run my financial porfolio.

I would never deny my family, no matter how bothersome I know it will be, a place to live. I would make sure it wouldn't be permanent though, but I wouldn't throw them out. My boyfriend's mother came to stay with his sister because they were moving. I spent a few days there visiting and what not. His mother drove me nuts. I know she's a great woman, but she's just one of those people who you just never want to live with. Or for that matter, spend the night with. She constantly comments on the way things are normally done, and trys to point out her way of doing things. She constantly made comments about the door being locked. (I don't lock my door). And made sure that before she went to bed, she checked the locked at least a dozen times. She complained about the tv being too loud even though you could barely hear what people were saying. We had to put subtitles on to be able to watch anything. I know my parent's wouldn't be this bad. But just from spending a few days with them, the idea gives me the chills that his mom might ask me to do the same!

Well, I guess that depends on your culture and the situation ofcourse. I live in the Philippines on where the family ties are really "TIGHT". It can be both bad and good, you know. If you go here, you would notice that both parents or a parent lives with their son/daughther whether their son/daughter are married. MOst peeps here are okay with that but others are not comfortable of the situation because there will be always issues like financial, marriage, individuality etc... So, my answer is yes, it depends but as much as possible, I will still want to live my mom with me.

My mum passed away a few years ago, but my dad is still alive and has some health issues. It would not be my first choice to have him come live with me, but if he couldn't manage on his own then I would take him in. There would be some definite ground rules set out though right at the start. Just like when I stayed with my parents as a kid, he'd have to follow the rules of my house.

Yes, I would gladly take them in. After all, where would they go if not to their own flesh and blood?

well I had to move in with my mother in law to help take care of our dying grannie an yes it was stressfull but it was our grannie so if it started getting bad i just walk outside an said I am doing this for grannie an if by chance something happen I would open my door an take care of my parents an in laws also its what families do

I've been 27 years old, and my parents are living with me. :P or just say that I'm not leaving my parents' house as I'm still in singlehood. yeah, back then I wish I would move out of my parents' house but later I think well, I would need to prepare everything I could leave for my parents before I'm leaving this house (for some reasons). so that's what I have done and still do. for me, they are always Mom and Dad and will always be. no matter what conflicts have ever happened within this house, but if there is anything I can do to support them, I pay for some of their bills, well, our living. I do the cleaning, I help my Mom doing some houseworks, so she would have lighter burden in houseworking. and I think, when I have had my own family, when my parents get trouble (hopefully they won't, because I would be sad to hear that) and need to move into my own (future) house, I would still accept them. they are forever Mom and Dad, and things will never change between us. I love my Mom and Dad, and I have owed them very much, I just think I would never be able to pay back completely, but I do hope that one day they would be able to count on me.

My mother lives with me. And I like having her around. Since I'm divorced and I live alone, I don't see any reason why she shouldn't live with me. She does my laundry, I a home cooked dinner every night (almost) and I always have someone to talk to on the nights I don't go out with my friends. Most of my brothers and sisters are married. They've got families of their own. So she stays with me and I enjoy having her around

I enjoy living with my parents now although I'm already a 22 year old grown up! Actually,my parents do take good care of my life,which leave me more time and enegy to spend on my work. So,I will live with them till I meet someone special or get married!
