When Time And Society Alter Tradition.

[NightskyeB4Dawn]

But originally, families did live together for several generations.  Of course, at a certain point, your kids would be the ones working and supporting you, while you watched their children and taught them things.

One of the four, has two sons at home without girlfriends or children. Neither one contributes a dime. Bit she loves having her children at home, so she and her husband allows it. One in his late 30s, the other in his late 20s. I have no idea what will happen when Mom and Dad are gone or can no longer work.

The other two are fearful because they know if things don't change before they have to quit work, they will not have enough to sustain themselves, let alone their grown children, and their children.

The living together is not the problem. 

I am amazingly blessed. MMother only gets enough money to pay for her health insurance. But there are eight of us still living, and none of us let Mom want for anything. So she Is not a financial burden to any of us.

I am not blaming the children. They didn't make this mess they find themselves in the middle of.
