In today's society, there is a lot of pressure in all aspects, so it is still necessary to reduce stress appropriately.
When our daughter and son-in-law asked us for help in taking care of the children, we made it clear that we were not living together.
This is not to show indifference to the grandchildren, but to avoid potential conflicts with the younger generation in terms of living habits and values.
Nowadays, young people are under a lot of work pressure, they are tired enough in the workplace, they don't want to do anything when they get home from work, and they want to relax when they go home. Such as playing games, watching videos, etc.
Although this way of decompression is understandable, if you live with the elderly, the elderly will not be used to it. After a long period of time, contradictions and misunderstandings may arise, thus intensifying contradictions.
In addition, young people may not like to tidy up very much, and the environment at home can sometimes seem a little messy. As elderly people, we may be tempted to help tidy up, but it can also put an extra burden on us.
In terms of food, if we live together, we need to prepare meals for young people, whether they eat at home or not.
This has undoubtedly increased our workload. Moreover, the tastes of young people are different from ours, they want to eat what they like, because we are here, and they find it inconvenient.
Of course, there are many benefits to living together as a family, such as we can help with transporting children to and from school.
But in general, in order to avoid friction and contradictions caused by different living habits, living separately is a better choice.
Every family's situation is different, and this option may not work for all families.
But as far as our family is concerned, we may not feel so relaxed if we live together, so living separately is the best option.
I don't know what your family's situation is, but everyone is welcome to express their opinions.
