According to Susan Ito, author of the column Life in the Sandwich in the online magazine Literary Mama, lives with his parents had many advantages. One of them is about the time. In the past, our family was not disciplined. Left-liked to eat at will. But since my mother’s 84-year-old lives with us, time to eat a more regular eating schedule for the mother. So we have nice family dinners, said Susan. In addition, according to Prof. Dr. Jeanette, lived at home with parents and children to establish intimacy, is also sharpening the inner relationships.

Which one should be discussed with the couple about the sandwich home settings:
Everything related to domestic affairs, starting from about the house, money, work, sex, health and nutrition, family, children, community and friendship, to the spiritual life, should be discussed with the best and very clear with your partner. For example:

* Room. Who lives in the space where?
* Time. When do for yourself, the spouse, and the family?
* Money. What is the allocated cost?
* Activity. What to do for yourself and family?
* Requirements. How to meet the needs of family members?
* Feeling of being intimate.
How to maintain the intimacy between the generations?
* Domestic tasks. Who’s doing what? How?
