not all parents are financially stable enough that they can support themselves, and as they get older and less independent, they need someone close by, and retirement communities are not not always an option due to cost.

There are ways to do things where either people live close enough that they have their own space but can be there right away if they are needed, in some cases as I have seen its a whole separate unit which may be attached to the house through a common garage or hallway but othewise has its own kitchen, living room etc.

different situations, different needs, different solutions.

living with your son and daughter in law is never a solution in my opinion. it makes things worse most of the time. i don’t understand why should a woman have to put up with her husbands parents? they are not her parents and it’s not her duty to take care of them but if they live in the same house, obviously she will have to take care of them too
if they are in financial problem, why cant all the kids pitch in some money for their rent and utilities? If my husbands parents need financial help from him, i know he will give them watever he can and I will have no issues with that but i can never tolerate them living in my house.
