Would you like to live with your parents after marriage?

I don't think young couples should ever start out their marriage by living with someone else. If they can't afford a place of their own, then they shouldn't be getting married. Just out of curiosity, why does the Chinese culture teach that sons should live with parents? It sounds rather selfish to me, like the parents expect the son to take care of them instead of taking care of his new wife and family.

my boyfriend is chinese, and i'd say after marriage they're not forced to live with their parents. before marriage, yes, they are asked to live with their parents to supervise family businesses ( chinese are very particular with running businesses. they want the supervision to be within the family, they even want their kids to marry pure-blooded chinese people to maintain the business within the chinese heritage), but after marriage they can choose to live with their parents or have their own house. but they are asked to still run the family business. regarding your question, i don't think a person has the right to enter marriage if he is not yet financially ready and capable to support his marriage. living with parents for me is not something a couple should consider doing, because our parents deserve to rest and relax and have some fun after they nurtured us from birth until adulthood.

I doubt I could handle living with my in-laws for any amount of time! I wouldn't expect my husband to live with my family either. When you are married, you have your own family to take care of. If our parents really needed some type of medical care or help then we would consider letting them live with us for a short period.

In my opinion, it is best that couples should have a place of their own, separate from their parents. There are instances wherein problems occur in marriage because of the interferance of parents or siblings of the couple if they are living together in one roof. It is best that newly married couple has lot of time to get to know each other and adjust with their partners, and this can be done if they have a place of their own to live.

Yes, I am chinese and i am having a little dilemma. I was raised in Australia so i basically feel that if i get married - living with my mother will feel very strange. It just won't seem right because i want my wife and myself to have some privacy. I have told my mother that i would like to move out one day and i think it made her a bit upset. she had always planned to stick with me - but i just want to be independent. I have seen that it seems common for children in western cultures to move away from home when they become adults. Actually, most of my friends are still living with their parents - i wonder if they will ever move out when they get married. Although i am feeling a little unsure about how my life should be.

No..lbbaby. I will not live with my parents after marriage. Not in same house. That's because I worried they disturb my family life or I disturb them by my own family. So, it's better not in a same house. And it's better not in a same town too.

I see that to many tradional chinese even in our place. But in my place that tradition is slowly changing with times especially when chinese people marry a non chinese person. But then Chinese tradition and culture is really a very strong influence in our place. I guess its better that new couples should learn to live separately with their parents. You'll be able to make decisions on your own and learn to be independent.

for me, i dont want to live with my parents after my marriage because i want to stand own my own, to build a family of my own...i also want to be independent with them in terms of decision making and in raising my children too...

well for me couple must have thier own house to prove to theirselves that they are independent enough and ready to have a family of their own.I quess its not advisable for couples to live with thier parents after marriage.
