A lot of people live with their parents—seriously!—and they include couples with children. Reggie from the Philippines, Nathan from Australia, and half-Filipino half-Vietnamese George Bonifacio make the case for choosing to stay with your elders. Opinions fall left and right on whether it's better to eventually bring frail Ma and Da to aged care facilities, or have the sons and daughters take charge. They also ask themselves: "When it's our time to turn grey, will I be staying at home, or at the nursing home?"

This is an episode for the ages—all ages.
