It's in my list of questions to ask potential spouse.

Say no to living with my parents is saying no to marriage
 
Ayeyos are like a second hoyo. Their love for a grandchild is second to none. I'm glad both of my ayeyos had a role in my upbringing.

Lately, Somalis who work in retirement homes have discovered other Somalis who have been left there by their family, who have never visited since.

One report in particular is a Somali girl who worked as a nurse in a retirement home who found a coherent Somali male who was unkempt. He sobbed as he told her that his kids left him here when his wife died, and his bad English couldn't save him from being declared incapable.

I know Somalis aren't like Indians or Pakistanis who make their parents move in with them after their honeymoon but is there a point in your life where you will care for your parents or leave them in the care of others?

Excellent topic :nvjpqts:

My 88 year-old grandmother lives with my family. We could never imagine otherwise.
She's full of tender loving stories and she's a great family historian.

Of course she's at times grumpy old lady where the slightest things bother her. It's comes with the territory. It's return to childhood at this point. We treat her like the nephews when it comes to certain things because now she has a loose tongue where nasty ladies dig into from her whenever they call or visit and like in any family we got private situations happening at times that is none of anyone's business
