Yesterday, I was chatting with my brother about his wife and mother occasionally having arguments and unpleasant conflicts. They live under the same roof, and daily friction arises from even minor differences of opinion, leading to frequent quarrels.
My brother mentioned that his wife insists on moving out every day, expressing her reluctance to live with the elderly. This dilemma puts him in a difficult position, causing extreme frustration. During our conversation, he sought my advice, but I hesitated to give a definitive opinion. While suggesting that he move out and spare the elderly from the constant quarreling, I personally lean towards the idea of establishing a separate household to avoid the daily confrontation and the potential strain on family relationships. In the long run, spending more time with parents by having a nearby home might be more beneficial than being under the same roof, where familiarity could breed contempt. Prolonged exposure to such conflicts might lead to irreparable damage to relationships.
At the moment, I refrained from offering too much advice, recognizing that his family matters are delicate, and any input from me might not be entirely appropriate. I'm curious to know your perspective. In today's context, many young people, upon entering the workforce, prefer renting or buying a small house to live independently. Even when single, they choose not to live with their families, citing differences in lifestyle and advocating the benefits of separate living. Gradually, it is observed that most households consist of elderly parents living on their own. I believe that distance can enhance relationships, and not living together fosters greater tolerance, reducing potential conflicts. Wouldn't it be better this way? |
