Nowadays, young people like to live independently and think that being with the old will always be bound. Actually, it's true. It is inconvenient for two generations to live together, no matter whether their living habits are the same or not, their eating habits are the same.
But sometimes for various reasons, we have to live together again Although both sides will deliberately reserve space, it is inevitable that there will be some embarrassing moments after a long time. Today, three female friends told us about the wonderful things that happened in their home. Let's have a look!
Ms. Geng, 28, has been married for one year.
We have been living with our in-laws since we got married, because our wedding room has not been renovated. At first, I thought it was good to live with old people. After all, I can be lazy and not cook. My food, clothing, housing and transportation are taken care of. But if you stay for a long time, you will feel very inconvenient and even have some embarrassing things.
I remember in March this year, once my in-laws said they would go back to their hometown for a while, and we sent the old man to the station and went home. To tell the truth, we are still a little excited when the old man is not at home. Because we just got married, we may have passion anytime and anywhere, but it will be a little difficult to live with our in-laws, for fear that some movements will be heard by the elderly.
Now that the old man is not at home, we can indulge our passion. My husband and I came home, and at the moment when our eyes met, we knew what to do, so we kissed madly. However, just when we were deeply attached to each other, I don't know when my in-laws appeared in the living room. At that time, we went back to our room in embarrassment and fled.
It turned out that my in-laws had to deal with some sudden emergencies, so they refunded their tickets and went another day, fearing that it would be too much trouble for us to pick them up and took a taxi directly. This embarrassing scene happened.
Ms. Zhu, 35, has been married for eight years.
At present, I live with my parents-in-law, because I have a second child. Usually we are too busy to take care of the children, and we don't trust a nanny to take care of them. In-laws are particularly enthusiastic old people. In order to reduce our burden, they have been helping me with my children and taking care of our three meals a day.
To tell you the truth, I am grateful to my in-laws for taking care of us. It is very relaxing to live with them. If there is anything wrong, it must be that living together is sometimes inconvenient.
For example, in summer, when you live with the elderly, you should pay attention to your clothes, even if it is hot, you should dress neatly. Why am I so moved? Because something embarrassing happened to me.
I remember this summer vacation, I took my baby at home, my in-laws went out to exercise, and then I bought food and came back to cook. I think according to the previous time, it will take them at least two hours to go out, so I can use these two hours to cool off.
So after my in-laws go out, I only wear underwear and hold my children to play. Later, the child fell asleep, and I fell asleep unconsciously. Just when I was talking to Duke Zhou, a scream woke me up. My in-laws saw my dress and threw away all the dishes. I ran back to my room in embarrassment. Although no one mentioned it later, my face is burning when I think about it now.
Ms. Zhang, 32, has been married for five years.
We live in the same community as our in-laws Usually we live in separate houses, but in winter, in order to save heating costs, we start to live together. However, during the three or four months of living together, many embarrassing things happened. For example, coughing before going to the toilet and closing the door when changing clothes. But what embarrassed me most was the time when my husband washed my feet.
Once I fell down on my bike and injured my left hand, so I couldn't move. During that time, my mother-in-law took good care of me and wouldn't let me do big and small things at home.
One day, my in-laws took their children for a walk in the park, and my husband and I watched TV at home. Later, in order to kill time, we started playing games, and whoever lost washed each other's feet. As a result, it is conceivable that the husband is definitely a loser.
So in order to please me, he willingly washed my feet. I don't want this scene to be seen by my in-laws. They saw their beloved son pampering me so much. Although they didn't say anything at that time, they obviously felt their faces changed. I quickly explained that I couldn't do it manually, so I only let my husband wash it this time.
After this incident, I also understand that although it is not a big deal, it is better to take care of living with the elderly. After all, they have different ideas and can't let their temper make them unhappy.
In fact, I am very supportive of two generations living separately. After all, the two generations have different ideas, and they should take care of each other's emotions together. Once handled improperly, it is easy to cause misunderstandings and contradictions.
Another point is that two generations live together, whether it is diet or lifestyle, they need a process to adapt to each other. More importantly, if you are not careful, embarrassing things will happen.
Instead of this, it is better to leave room for each other and keep an appropriate distance. With distance, then beauty may follow.
