　　One of the topic in daily life is whether or not the older people should live with their adult children. My answer to the question is that it is betterr for them not to.

　　To begin with, adult children, like their parents, love indenpendence and freedom, but their parents may still take them as children and unintentionally interfere in their affairs. The situation will be worse if the adult children are already married. In this case, the children have already built a new and closed world and any outside interference may lead to conflicts. Besides, the new menbers of the family have no blood relations with the parents. When the relationship between the inlaws and the parents is not harmonious, the sons or daughters of the parents will be in a dificult position.

　　Secondly, people of different ages have different ways of life. The old people like a quiet, peaceful and regular life. whereas the young love noises, activities, and unrestrained enjoyment. If they live together, the old may feel that they are always disturbed and the young may feel that they are often handicapped.

　　Furthermore, people of different generations have differrent views and values. What is quite normal to the parents may seem to be old-fashioned or wrong to the children. When they live together, they may disagree on maters ranging from minor domestic matters to national and interrnational issues. Consequently, family life may be unpleasant or even unbearable to both the old and the young.来源：www.examda.com

　　In short, if the parents and their adult children donot live together, both the old and the young can enjoy complete independence and freedom, live a life they like, and keep intact their affections for each other. Separate living does not mean separation of relations. The parents and their children can still visit and help each other if they stay in the same area.
