My grandad does this and he loves it because it means he really gets quality time to spend with all his grandkids and he is not ‘stuck’ in one place feeling as tho he is a burden (not that anyone has ever given him that idea anyway lol)..

As long as he/she isn’t being moved around too often I don’t see what the problem is.. Many months to a year in one place then moving to another familiar environment where another child is living isn’t a big deal imo and keeps the level of collective family stress down..

Deeba sometimes its not possible. What if there are only two children with one child living in say USA and the parent is unable to travel alot? Daughters are usually more likely to be doing khidmat willingly as compared to DILs. But I just expect DILs to at least keep the parents in their house and ‘allow’ the husband to financially support them with most of the khidmat being done by daughters. Wives can make an issue definitely if the husband starts spending unnecessary huge amounts on parents. But we women should have enough bardasht to allow BASIC needs fulfilment of parents even if we have a sacrifice a bit (like cutting down on five star dining etc.)
