I would be living with my parents even when I am married. I love my parents and as they are getting older they might need the help of some one in their lives. Besides most of my neighborhood is devoid of any young people. Most of them have left their parents to start a new life. I would never do that. I had to rush one of my friends father to the hospital at night because there wasn't anyone in the house except his mother. Regards

I too agree with your every point you mentioned here ..
This is also a reason which i din mention in my just above response ..
that when they will get too old .. they might suffer from any kinda sickness. .. and we should be with them ..
I too love my parents .. and would love to care them ..

I don't think I could ever go back and live with my parents for any reason. I think married couples need their time to be spent with one another. I don't think two families can really live together and give each other thier privacy. My parents would still tell me every move to make, even in my marriage. That is not healthy. My mom always told me, once I move out, that is it, anyway. I can't go back home.

I don't see myself getting married, but if I do, I won't be living at home. Getting married means starting your own, new life.

Yes I will definitely be staying with my parents even after i get married ..
Some people argue to that .. and disagree to this .. because they say .. that after getting married "we have our own new life .. and living with parents wouldn't be easy" .. Can I dare ask these kinda people ..
When your parents were married .. they too had their NEW life . they were also busy .. settling things .. enjoying things .. but they gave birth to you .. and made you feel comfortable .. granted all of your wishes .. gave money to you .. whenever you asked for it .. gave love to you .. when you couldn't possibly took care of yourself ..
So .. when its time to revert the same.. when they are old .. they can't take care of themselves .. then .. you say that .. it wouldn't be easy for you?? was that easy for them then?? Didn't they sacrifice some things for you??
Then .. just for the sake of being comfortable .. you wouldn't live with them??
Yeah .. you would find this very philosophical .. (which a person i am not .. ) .. but yeah i feel this way ..
Now that i am unmarried .. I am living with my parents .. and they are taking care of me .. granting my wishes .. my all kinda needs .
and the time will soon come .. when i will be married .. then i just can't wait for the time to come when i will live with them .. take care of them ..
And I don't see any lame thing here .. as some people may think that .. living with parents after marriage is lame ! ..
I don't see it that way .. I see those people as selfish people .. who can't just return love for the love they once received !!

Yes, I would. We cannot call those who stay as good and those who do not as bad, or vice versa. It varies from the region, reason and the environment in which the person has been brought up. So, it is up to each individual to decide and we should respect their opinion.
