that's me and my family but then we came from the province so once its time to study in the city, that's the beginning of being independent already (though tuition is still paid by the oldies) and living separate from our parents.
our neighbor, a Filipino too, would like their parents to stay with them too to help with their baby and toddler but the his spouse' parents don't even want to stay for more than a month. same with his mother, worst, she doesn't want even to get a visa to come for a visit.
its not a matter of culture. its a matter of upbringing and necessity. if the parents and the children don't have money issues, they would not dare live with their children or parents

Not true I know people who are married and make a good salary and still live with there in laws. I also know people who would rather eat bread and butter everyday for the rest of there lives than live with in laws.
