hi,all mylotters! i've not got married yet now. but some of my friends have been married for years..many of them live with their parents together after married..but i often heard they complaint about problems of living with parents..for example, they got in a dilemma when their spause have quarrels with their parents..or usually the olds didn't agree with them and intervene in their personal life due to generation gap..
so i wonder how do u get along with your parents after married? do u live with them ?

I am also married till date but I believe that I would live with my parents after marriage.
I mean they cared for us for almost 25 years or so, they deserve this. We can't let them be alone in this cruel world.
Remember when we could even speak, they give everything we wanted. We can't .. We just can't let them be alone!

hey, sanuanu! definetely parents have suffered a lot to bring up their kids..and they really deserved our appreciate...what i said above doesn't mean we will let our parents alone, but it's just about different ways of living..maybe some parents don't want to live in big cities where their kids live, or they want to keep their life peace and don't want others to disturb....

After my husband and I got married, we did live with my parents for a while. When I found out I was prenant with our first child, we started getting serious about finding our own place. We had a bump in the road during that time, and ended up living with his parents for almost a year. Now, we are living on our own and doing everything we can to make it on our own.

I think that my parents and I and my husband or at least my mom and I get along alot better although, my husband doesn't sometimes agree with some things she does or ask of me.
Now with the whole livin situation, I could never live with my parents or my husband's parents after we got married. I would just not feel comfortable with it even if my parents were okay with it or even if my husband and I were in need. I just would not feel comfortable.
Sometimes I don't even feel comfortable spending the night at my mom's house with my husband, but that is only for a day or two. I remember one time my grandparents had told my husband and I oh, yall can spend the night whenever you want. My husband was like he would to spend the night with them and I was like just no. I couldn't even live with my grandparents or even spend the night with them, I would feel even more uncomfortable.

WE live separately after marriage.we eat with our parents ,after supper we go back home to leave a separate space for each other.we don't live together for some reasons that first we have different living habits,they sleep early and get up early but we are the opposite.so when the sunday is coming ,we can't have a good sleep after having a busy week.

hi, aringwi! i guess you and your parents are living in the same city. u don't live together though. i know many people of this kind..u are right, at times the old people of last generation think over things in a quite different ways from the young man..some friends often complaint about that his wife can't get along well with his mom or dad..in my opinion, if they really can't get along well with each other, why not live separately if possible? we all love our family and hope them to live happily..

Hi my dearest friends, firstly I appreciate for bringing in such a topic. I grossly believe that one needs to stay with his/her parents after marriage. They have been working day in day out and helping us in every way possible since our childhood without expecting a single penny of profit. Tears run down the moment I think of myself away from my parents. They are my everything and they mean to me everything. And, I strongly believe that it is our moral responsibility to be with them and see that they are happy atleast from the time we are capable of enough earn money. I just cant imagine how can one leave their parents who were always there for whatever happens to us. Wife comes after finishing the quarter fraction of our life and that does not mean that she should be prioritised however, It is our responsibility to make her understand and should make our parents very comfortable. I would personally prefer staying with my parents. I still believe in the saying that goes like this in telugu "MATHRU DEVO BHAVA, PITHRU DEVO BHAVA AND ACHARYA DEVO BHAVA" which means that our first guru is our mom and the second guru is our dad and third place is occupied by our masters. Therefore , friends I humbly request you not to even think of leaving your parents when you get married. lastly, I would like to conclude that, if they had not existed , we would not have been where we are today. Therefore, they should be prioritised in your life. Thank you all.

I will advise couples not to live any of there parents,if they want to live a successful marriage lives.There have many times parents interfare in there children marriage that leads to many break up. You cannot satisfy everybody be yourself and do what you know is right. Some parents friendly,while so are not.They are hard to please and complain virtually about everything. It is adviceable for the couple to live alone so that they can know each other better and understand themselves.

good day everyone! im just waiting my perfect someone now. if i will get married i will choose to live far apart from both parents because we cannot do what we want or dont do we dont like to do. if we were living separately with parents we can plan exactly for our future without any complaints from them. for me living with parents can cause lots of damages in both of you. i see it evryday in our society, and the children are growing up with bad idea in their mind because of what they saw evryday.

hai,my lotter friends. i want live with parents after marriage.because when our mother conceive from that time our parents think about us. they learn us everything and mold us as a good person.in the old age they need our help and support.in the old age also they are very helpful to us like they are giving good suggestions by useing their experiences and a good friends to our childeren.once imagen we are also getting old age.our childeren also getting married.they are also think that we are creating inconveniance.that time how is our feelings. because of generation gap if there some problems arise think how to sortout it.then we live happyly with our parents.its my suggestion only.

I don't think that is right. I think that eventually everyone should get out and move on in life by themselves even if only to prove that you can. I can understand that sometimes parents also need caring for and this can't be avoided in some cases, but overall i think everyone needs a chance to stand on there own two feet. I would not like to be married to a man that lived with his parents, and i imagine the arguements and stress would be very draining. at home people should be able to relax and be themselves.

Parents are the most precious thing all of us have. They are the one because of whom we are in this world as well as at this point of success in life. I dont understand what kind of heart those children have who decide to live separately from their parents. When i person get married and have children, those children are the ones he loves the most and will try for the best for them to make them something in life. They keep on dreaming about there future and there wife and children and suddenly when its time for parents to rest at home and enjoy with their grand children, their son comes and tells them that he wants to live separately. This would hurt them so much and they would feel so insulted. I will never opt to live separately from my parents.
Just imagine that after a few years you have to be a parent, you will get retired, you will have kids, You could also be treated like that by your kids. How will that hurt you.. just think and always make the importance of parents your first priority.

Most people tend to leave their parents when they get married. But I think that people should live with their parents after they are married as well. My brothers do not live with their parents. But I think that people should live with their parents even after marriage as their parents are the one who fed their children and helped them grow at this stage. So people should honor their parents as they are the one to care for then in such a big period of time.

i've been married for almost three years and i don't have problems with my in laws. simply because we are not living on the same roof. when my husband proposed marriage to me i told him that if we are going to marry i don't want to live in his parents house, so we agree on that decision.

hello,kunking! i am single now,so i am afraid that i have no experience about it.however,i'd like to talk something that i have in mind.it is customary in my hometown for young peple to live with their parents even after they are married.on the one hand,they can better care for the olds;on the other hand,the olds can help them care the children when they are busy with their working. but life is not always as u like it.as u said,there are some problems between generations.therefore,i think i will not live with parents after getting married,but i will keep in touch with them and go back to see them.

I haven't been married yet. But in case I do so, i think I'll prefer to live apart from our parents.
If at that time, we can't have this kind of a setup, it'll still be ok to live with my parents. But hopefully, that'll only be for a while. I would really like to have the first years of my marriage on our own as a couple. Besides, it'll probably keep my future wife from having "misunderstandings" with my parents. hehehe
