Would you refuse your parents to live with you in your house?

Marrying is leaving your parents to start a new home and raise a family. What if your parents tell you that they would like to live in your house. Do you welcome them right away and happily? What if you don't like that idea, how would you say you don't like them to stay?

I guess to some culture or nationalities living with parents is not really a good idea or a preferred set up. But in the Philippines where there is really a very strong family ties an extended family is no longer new. On a personal note however, I love the idea of being not too near my family or my wife's family. But if the time comes that my mom or her mom will ask if they can live in our place i would gladly welcome the idea. I know that it would need some adjustment for me and my wife but it is something that we would be able to mutually accept with open heart. Anyways, that is also where we will go sooner or later, so i guess it can be a good example to show to our kids how we care, respect and love our parents.

I love my parents. So if ever they want to live with me, I will gladly and with open arms welcome them. I don't think it is a good idea to refuse them especially when they have care for us. It times for us to care for them especially when they have no where to go.

I think that it would depend on the reason that my parents would like to live in my house with me. Seeing as how, when I needed a place to stay with my children, they welcomed me back into their house, no questions asked. Is their house being foreclosed on? Are they being evicted? Are they to a point where they need help caring for themselves? Since my parents live 1200 miles away from me, are they looking to relocate to my area? In these cases, I would have no problem whatsoever letting them live with me. If they just wanted to move in because they wanted to live me with, there would definitely be serious conversation about it. However, as long as they let me live my life the way that I wanted and we let bygones be bygones, I do not see why not.
