How does OT view this? My parents are pretty poor so thinking about moving them in but they are reluctant which I don’t understand.

id do it if you can. This idea that we shuffle our parents off behind the woodshed is bogus Give them what they gave you

Bought our last house with the expectation of moving one or both of my parents in eventually because they won't be able to physically maintain their larger house and yard than they need. Either that or moving in with them if they refuse to move.

One of my neighbors did. Makes sense - they don't spend your inheritance.

My MIL now lives with us. Big mistake. I now have an old woman stuck in her ways, a headstrong wife, and a 16 yr old daughter that constantly clash about EVERYTHING. Stress levels are maxed out, everyday. It may seem like a good idea, but it really isn't.

My grandma lived with my family when I was growing up. It was awesome having her around. I don't think I was able to beat her at ping pong until she was about 80.

Asian countries seem to be pretty good with this. Different generations living together, it resolves alot of problems and cuts out unnecessary expenses and such plus keeps a more cohesive family unit. I can see problems if your parents are assholes though

I would rather die in a pile of my own piss than move in with my kids. I worked too hard for my dignity and independence.

I wish I could. Or at least have them closer. They help a lot with the kids while my wife and I work.

My dad passed on years ago. I've offered to let my mom move in with me repeatedly but she refuses. She doesn't want to be a burden and she doesn't want to be in our business.

My mil lives with us. We built her an apartment on our house. The only thing we share is the laundry room. She’s had a rough few years health wise and needs the help. She doesn’t have anyone else so it made sense.

I’d move mine in if needed, their so low key and low maintenance.

I’d burn the house down before we moved in my M/FIL.

My dad just retired so my parents are moving in with me now. I’m a single dad so my mom can help me out with my kids and with some of the bills.

For what my parents have done for me over the years feeding me, clothing me, giving me shelter, and dealing with my stupid arse, if they were in a situation where they would have to live with me, I would say yes without mother fricking hesitation. I don't care about the circumstances, they deserve me returning the favor. I would do whatever I can to make it work. They're my parents.

My mother lived with us when she passed away (in her suite) surrounded by family. I helped the funeral folks carry her out to transport.

My family consolidated over 20 years ago in order to take care of my grandfather. Moving to another state was difficult for him. I decided to keep my parents in their own home no matter what. After my grandfather died I stayed to look after my parents. They are in their early 80s and still do a lot for themselves but need help often enough that maintaining a separate residence is not practical. Most older people cherish their independence so that may be why yours are reluctant.
