Why are some rural elderly unwilling to live in the city with their children for the elderly?

The development of rural areas is also changing with each passing day. The roads in the countryside are getting wider and wider. Farmers' buildings are also 1, each one is taller than the other, and the renovated buildings are 1 better. People's living standards have also improved several grades, and the internet has entered every corner of the countryside.

There is not much difference between rural areas and cities. The only drawback is that life is not very convenient. Many rural friends have made their own efforts, some have been working as contractors outside, some have been admitted to universities, found good jobs, and then earned some money through several years of hard work, bought a house outside and became a home.

Because there were few children before. There was a son or a son and a daughter in the 1980s, and now they are married. If they all work outside, there are only two old people at home. The children are not at ease, and the old man lives at home and wants to take them back to the city to live together. But there is a problem, that is, these parents who are used to the countryside are unwilling to follow their children to the city. Xiao Wu summarized it. There are several reasons. See if it's right.

1 Afraid of family disharmony.

The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is the biggest problem for thousands of years. In addition, the old people living in rural areas have different ideas from the young people living in cities now. When these parents arrive in the city, their relationship with their sons and daughters-in-law will be contradictory and estranged, so they don't want to live in the city, but prefer to stay in this remote mountain village.

The second is that they are worried.

Because the old people in rural areas are not paid like the old people in cities. If they don't get paid, they have no income. In rural areas, if they can move, they can plant a little land and at least get some food or rice. If they live in the city, they can't do anything, and everything depends on their sons. Therefore, they don't want to increase the burden.

Moreover, they are afraid that it will be inconvenient in a hundred years, because in rural areas, old people still like the custom of burial. In cities, cremation is practiced now, and they are unwilling to accept it. This is their concern.

The third is fear of not having your own space and freedom.

After all, the space for buying a house in the city is limited, especially in high-rise buildings, which is inconvenient, and there are many problems in food, accommodation and so on. They are not used to it and would rather stay in the countryside than follow their children to live in big cities.
