When you get old, do you want to live alone with your wife or with your children?

When I am old, I will choose to live alone with my wife if my physical conditions permit.

First of all, as an old couple, we have experienced too many ups and downs in our lives. At this age, mutual understanding and interdependence are the most important people in each other's lives. Therefore, on this basis, we prefer to live alone with two people rather than with children. In our little two-person world, we enjoy the pleasure of spending our old age peacefully.

Second, because old people and children live in different times, there is obviously a generation gap in their thinking. Therefore, if there are no grandchildren to take care of and no housework to help children take care of, two generations are doomed to be unsuitable for living together for a long time.

In daily life, young people are very different from old people. In addition, young people at this age can receive all kinds of fresh information at any time and have their own unique understanding and evaluation of all kinds of things. The old people's thoughts are conservative and can't keep up with the pace of modern people. This will naturally lead to many differences in daily communication. No one is right or wrong, but different ideas are bound to be so different.

From this perspective, the elderly and children really need to have their own private space, which also protects everyone's vital interests to the maximum extent.

Third, although we are no longer young, many dreams still exist in our hearts. I think I will experience something I never realized when I was young because I didn't have time and energy. For example, I am very keen on illustration, photography and travel, but I don't have time to do it now. So I will hope that when I am old and have no burden of life, I will try to do these things one by one, and maybe I will keep pace with the times and cultivate many other hobbies. Just like the 70-year-old hip-hop aunt reported on TV, it is probably a concrete example of the elderly living their true selves!

In fact, living alone and living in groups are not the point in themselves. The most important thing is to keep a young heart forever. Although youth is gone, we should live a colorful and happy life for the elderly!
