[QUOTE="donna723, post: 346517, member: 1883"] I guess I'm still confused. If Casper owns a home, how is he saving money by living with his parents? The mortgage would have to be paid whether he's living in the house or not, right? And if he really wanted to live with her, why wouldn't they be living together in the house that he owns instead of both of them living separately at his parents house like a couple of boarders? Sounds weird to me! Your description of his parents marriage sounds exactly like my own parents marriage back in the 1950's. This was back in the days when the men worked and most of the women stayed home and were smililng little apron-wearing housewives who would bring him his pipe and slippers when he walked in the door and had his dinner waiting on the table! I can't even put in to words how nauseating that is to me! My mother used to say all the time how they had never had an argument in all those years ... that's right because she went all that time doing exactly what [U]he[/U] wanted, never contradicting and never opening her mouth with a thought of her own! If this works for Caspers parents marriage and they are happy this way, more power to them! But it would be very difficult for others to live with. If they're this conservative and this old fashioned in their thinking, they will be this way about a lot of other things too and it will be constant conflict for your daughter. Their house - their rules. And she needs to remember that Casper has been raised this way, this will be his concept of 'marriage' and how men and women should relate to each other ... HUGE red flags there. If she insists on doing it, the best you can hope for is that she will then be able to chalk it off as a valuable 'learning experience'. [/QUOTE]
