In Unit 2 we learned about the life of a Japanese school student.  What about the home life of a Japanese student? 

It is quite common for multiple generations of a family to live under one roof in Japan.  Once parents become elderly, the parents will normally live (if they were not doing so already) with the oldest child's family.  Putting elderly parents into a nursing home is not the usual practice in Japan.

Taking care of aging parents is seen as a form of respect to the elderly:  the parents took care of the children when they were young and now it is the children's turn to take care of the elderly.
