    Got the inspiration from another thread gigglingsmiley


    When your children grow up do you prefer to live with them? After they graduated/have a job?

    (I am aware that coming from a different culture I may offend someone with this question. That is not my intention)

    No, nope not going to happen.
    Have so many things to do, open a bed and breakfast - look after my[ imaginary] farms/tea estates- travel the world - open a bake house- a gallery - the list never ends :)

    But will be there for him/his wife any time they need us.

    Entire life spent on cooking, housekeeping and pampering others? No thank you

    My responsibility would be done after 18 yrs. One person out of the house. Done.

    Will go to India and open a school in a village and spend time peacefully and alone (DH plans to retire here and spend 6 months in India). Want to visit places in India and study people, be close to nature - would love to live in a jungle for sometime, do something good for country, finally become little religious.

    Be there for the children if and only if they need me.

    Grandchildren are great - I have four. But I do not want to live with them. I see them often, spoil them, but hand them to their parents when they cry, need diaper change etc.

    Nope. I want to travel the world with my hubby and bring home great stories for my grand kids :) but I will always be ready to drop everything and run to my son if he needs my presence or help in any way.

    I don't have any children yet but no, I wouldn't foresee ourselves living with them. At most, it'd be nice to have them visit or at least stay within the same time zone. Or not :) If they live elsewhere then that is a good excuse to see a new place!

    Living with my kids after they become adults, as and when they need us, 'genuinely' need us. That is what my thought is.
