In my country many couples are not agree of mom's or dad's demands.Many parents they want live together to make sure that their son's and daughter are in good. Are you favor to them? what is comment? for me it's better to live without parents because we will never be peaceful forever that is my opinion.

It is better as couples to live apart from their parents. As parents, it couldn't be helped if we meddle with our children's married life if they do live with us or near us. Such meddling could create a friction for the married children. Either our own child will side with us , to please us but would create antagonism on the part of their husband or wife.

Honestly it's not really a good idea to live with their parents/in laws once married. In my case I really don't have much of a choice. My husband and I are currently living with my parents since we still need to save up for our own house. It's totally not a good thing since there will be tendencies wherein your ideals and opinions might clash and therefore possibly create walls and issues in relationships. The parents or in laws would feel superior on whatever decision you make and that's actually something that hard to control. It's really best to have a place of your own.

Not really. I think all couples should have a place of their own- you have to leave sooner or later and be independent. They can live together, but only for a short time, I think. But if they have a good relationship with the in-laws, I think it's okay... It really depends if they are in good term to begin with.

Hello NEIROlovemoh, My answer would definitely be "no!". I don't think it is a good thing to let new couples live with their parents. They must start their own life, they must decide for themselves, as they are not children any more. From the cases I know, marriages of the youngs who lived with their parents didn't last for long. Some friends of mine were about to separate each other because of their parents. But as soon as they moved alone in a house of their own, their marriage became a successful one.

i think it's very important for couples to live on their own. it's very important to develop the independency of you and your partner for life without the help of your family and friens because this is the way to build the basics of an healthy relationship. parents won't stay with you for ever and you have to learn to live without their help and listen to your own inner voice in life and relationships. a couples' independency is the first thing that you need to have in order to enjoy a long and healthy connection with your family also.

Personally I don't think it is a good thing, I have a saying..'one woman per kitchen" I believe it is against nature for females of any species to really get on...women need their own nest as mothers will always be mothers and treat their sone or daughter like a child,,,

Haha, same here. Due to the culture here in Philippines, most married couples stays with their parents. I think it depends on the personality of the people as some in-laws gets along together while there are others who does the opposite...

The sensible thing to do is when a couple starts their own family they have to have a home of their own, be it owned or rented doesn't matter as long as it's just the two of them. Starting a family means that you are independent already and can decide on your own. But it's common to see young couples still living with their parents. Although there's nothing wrong with it, the problem is more on how to deal with the in laws and your privacy since it can't be avoided that parents will always be parents and kids will always be kids to the parents no matter how old they become.

Definitely not for me. I want to be the queen of my own home. Sometimes, you feel restricted when your mom is around. Specially if they would do the parenting of your own kids. It is okay to give advise but they had their time parenting us before. I think they should give the opportunity to us to be parents to our own kids. It really gets difficult disciplining your kids when they have grand parents spoiling them. If you live with them, sometimes they meddle with things that concern you and your husband alone. Having them around sometimes aggravate the situation.
