why is it that some parents insist that they're son still live with them after they've gotten married...especially here in the west..? like i mean..he's married ...let him live his life the way he wants with his wife...
joint family systems happened back in the day..and in pakistan. i ain't saying drop cultural traditions or any of that..but i mean ..everyone affords for themselves here...so ..why the joint family still..?
it's just a tad bit annoying..especially since we're so used to our independance...
any thoughts?

If you read all the posts on this subject, you will notice that it is not the parents who insist, it is the sons who want to. I am one of them.
