老年人不想跟子女同住 Old People Refuse to Live With Their Children

Today, when the couples get married, they care about whether they need to live with parents. Most couples can’t reach agreement when they come to this issue. It seems that old people need to live with their children to seek for better care. But the fact is not, old people generally do not want live with the young people.
現在，每當一對新人結婚的時候，他們都關心是否需要與父母一起生活。大多數夫妻在這個問題上都無法達成一致。似乎老年人跟孩子住一起就是爲了尋求更好的照顧。但事實是，老人們通常不希望和年輕人住在一起。

On the one hand, old people know exactly the gap between the young generation and their generation. The lifestyle will be very different. They get up early and wake up timely, while the young people like to stay up and they tend to make up sleep on weekends. If they live together, the timetable will be interrupted by each other and both can’t live happily.
一方面，老人知道年輕一代和他們這一代之間的差距。生活方式會非常不同。他們早起，醒來的時間也固定，而年輕人喜歡熬夜，喜歡在週末補覺。如果他們生活在一起，彼此的時間表會被打亂，過得也不開心。

On the other hand, it is easy to have argument if people stay together for a long time, no matter how nice they are at the beginning. The new couple will have their problem, while if the old people interfere, then things will be miserable. So it is better to stay off the argument. 
另一方面，不管剛開始關係有多好，如果呆在一起的時間長了就很容易有矛盾。新婚夫婦會有他們自己的問題，如果老人干預，那麼事情將變得更加不可收拾。所以最好是遠離矛盾。

Now most parents choose to live not far away from their children, because staying the small distance brings benefit to both sides. 

現在大多數家長選擇生活在離他們的孩子不遠的地方，因爲保持一定的距離給雙方帶來好處。
