It’s nice to live with your parents after getting married. Someone does the laundry and cooks, eats ready-made food when you get home from get off work, and someone takes care of the children. But they always like to pick up all kinds of unwanted things at home, stuffing the house full, and making the villa look like a refugee slum.
The house is full of various things from my parents. Most of the things are not bought, but given by others outside. They take everything they don’t want or use. Make it at home.
I got seven or eight kitchen knives, five or six rolling pins, two or three bags of various vests, two or three hot pot tables that were eliminated from the restaurant, and about twenty armchairs. , there are seven or eight benches, and these tables and chairs take up a lot of space.
They kept the shoes that others couldn’t wear and said they would wear them for work. There were also some clothes that other people’s children couldn’t wear. They took them back as long as they were given to them, regardless of whether they could wear them or not.
My mother also likes to pick up cartons and plastic bottles to sell, but when she gets back the cartons, she just throws them into the pile. The scrap collector came to dispose of it. It seemed like a lot, but in fact it only cost more than a dozen yuan.
A few days ago, I came back with two bags of children’s clothes and asked me to choose from them for my children to wear. Although I was reluctant, I didn't say anything. I picked a few nice clothes that the children could wear. Some of the other clothes were pilled or unwearable, so they left them there without throwing them away.
Every time I tell them: "Our family's conditions are not that bad yet, don't take everything home. Let's see which family in the community is the same as ours?"
My parents said unhappily: "Things are all very good. What if I keep them in case I need to use them later? It would be a pity and waste to throw them away. What do you young people know?"
They always have a point. I am not happy after talking too much, so every once in a while, I have to clean up the house completely and secretly throw away some shoes, clothes and other small things that are not needed. If they see that they are definitely not allowed, they will be angry.
My parents were born in the 1960s and have suffered a lot, so it is understandable that they live a frugal life. But my family's conditions are not bad. We live in a three-story villa, and my parents also have retirement salaries. I really hope that my parents can raise flowers and plants, dance square dances, and keep the house clean like other retired parents. . Isn't that bad? I have no choice but to stock up on useful but useless things.
Every family situation is different. Under certain conditions, there are advantages and disadvantages to having parents live together after marriage.
1. The advantage is that parents will help with some housework at home, and the children will not have to worry about having no one to take care of them, which will save them a lot of worry.
2. The disadvantage is that young people often have different life concepts and habits than old people, which can easily lead to conflicts. Then there is the limited living space and privacy.
I think whether we live alone after marriage or live with our parents, as long as the family accommodates each other and tolerates each other, I think we can live a good life!
