I'm live with my wife,two people are seizing 100 square house~My parents have their own house and we meet together during the weekend.It's a little bit cruelly that we will cook our breakfast and dinner by ourselves,even very late from office,say around 8:00pm.However,that's life,isn't it?So,how about you?Could you sharing yours with us?Thanks~

I am now married and living with my parents will be awkward. Since I am the woman so I need to go where my husband likes to. But we are just living near my parents because my husband works abroad. So i could easily asks for help if emergency arises.

It is always good to have someone nearby that you can ask for help in an emergency situation. You can't always trust strangers to help you out.

I'm still living with my parents and even if i were to get married one day, i will still wanna live together with them ^_^ Because without them, there's no me right here right now ^_^ AND when they get older, they will get bored with nothing to do, and so if i can lie together with them, as least, my wife or maid can maybe there's a grandchild for them to pass time with ^_^ IN a way, it's good, as compared to letting them stay alone, and being hard to meet up too ^_^ hehe

yeah.. When one gets old, especially our parents, they will yearn to stay with us because after all, we have been together for so long and that, it's time for us to accompany them too.. Though no matter how they say they dun mind us not living with them, but i do know deep in their hearts, they will prefer to live togther with us ^_^

My 83 year old mother has me, my daughter, her 3 year old daughter and my brother that lives with with her. She watches the news, reads the newspaper and knows more about what is going on in the world than I do. It really does her good to have us with her and we really appreciate her, too. Her sister is 89 years old and lives alone and she does not do as well as my mother.

I do not think that I would live without my mother either, my father is deceased. She is 83 years old and I don't know what I will do when she is gone.

I used to live with in law for one year and did almost the same things like you,sit still in front of my laptop,did everything~However,here I don't mean something but share my feeling:If I were spending more time with my parent in law,say watch TV together,play cards or something else,they may feel more happy~Now,I have my own house and do spend at least 1 day with them.lol

I live with my parents. I've been old enough to live on my own for a while now, but living with them is easier on both our pockets and it's not like I have a problem living with them to the point that I'll be happier on my own. There's also the fact that I'm still studying, so having someone take care of the house gives me more time to focus on what I need to do. The house is relatively close to school, too, so me staying anywhere else would be a disadvantage rather than a benefit. My mother is a full-time housewife, and while living with her means I need to be under her scrutinizing eyes every time I have to do my chores (she's one of those Marta Stewart type mothers who can do everything and do it perfectly), I'd rather she help with the housework than for me to do it on my own.
My mother is also very traditional and protective and I think that she'd want me to stay under her wing even on the event that I finish school and get a full-time job. She gets worried too easily, and I feel guilty every time I see her worry because of me. My father says her mother-henning is bad for our independence, but since my mother is the all-powerful entity in our household, what she wants goes. ;)

You are lucky to have your parents to live with and go to the school. I know you apapreciate your mother. I live with my mother and I thank her for letting me do so. She is a wonderful person.

I don't live with my parents because I am married now and we have our own house. Me and my husband used to cook as well whoever is available to do it but now we have a househelp who does the cooking for us although sometimes me and my husband still pitch in with cooking. We don't mind it though. My parents don't live that far though so we see them most of the time especially my kids school are near them the kids go there to eat lunch cooked by my sister or brother.Sometimes me and my husband go there to eat as well. I live with my husband, 5 kids, my cat and a maid.

my parents are retired and living with me. i used to live with them until i got my own place. they sold their place and moved in with me. i enjoy living with them although it can get a little squeezy. i enjoy their company and wouldn't want to live apart from them. we don't really cook so some times we'll go out for meals. or i'll just bring food back when i am returning from work. cheers ;p

Situation got a little bit difference on my end,my dad still works now and they used to eat early for the dinner,while I will arrive home late.I think it's better for them to live in their house~Thanks for sharing and you're very nice~

There are five in my family that lives together and one member is 3 years old. We get along well and don't argue. Sometimes we might disagree on something but it is not very often. We try to get along and not upset my 83 year old mother.

Since we got married, we had our own house away from our parents' houses. I can only cook breakfast during weekends, but during weekdays where we both work and in a hurry, I just could not do the cooking. We just eat at the canteen. Have a nice day!

If you have sometime,you could cook yourself that I think it's better than canteen outside.Thanks for response.

I live with my parents caused it is easier to my pocket. I mean I just graduated and I don’t have a job right now to live on my own. Maybe when the right time comes I will not live with my parents but for now I’m with them to take care for them. They are in early 60’s so I don’t think I could leave the house without someone who will take care of them.

I live with my 83 year old mother,my daughter and her 3 year old daughter lives there, too and so my brother who is not married. That is my whole family. My brother works at night and sleeps in the daytime. My daughter goes to school two nights per week and works 3 nights. I take care of my mother and my grandaughter. I do all the cooking and most of the laundry and ironing, and cleaning.
