the Idea of living with your adult children may sound like the dream for many older people. But this was not the case, since the Line Baun Danielsen raised the idea to move in together for his 81-year-old mother, Jane Baun.
The 57-year-old tv host would like to closer to his mother, but the mother was not fresh on the idea.
She was afraid of losing her independence and freedom.
The write Line Baun Danielsen on his blog.
For Line Baun Danielsen, it was otherwise greatly on being able to help his mother, who has several times been sick, in everyday life.
– My thought was actually that I find it hard to be the good help and support she needs. I am the only one she has, and she is the only parent I have left. When you experience illness, as my mother has done this several times, so I think that it’s easier to live close to each other, she says to Ekstra Bladet.
Line Baun Danielsen think it’s an exciting development that more people are choosing to live under the same roof with their family. (Private)
But it was the Line Baun Danielsens mother not completely agree with.
– My mother’s reservations are, if one loses self-determination, when you suddenly must live with his daughter. I can certainly understand. I just feel though, that it in the long run, is the way you must consider.
today, live mother and daughter eight kilometers from each other.
And it is not far, underlines, Line Baun Danielsen. But in today’s world it may be far enough, she believes.
– My mother will be 82, and the need for outside help will probably only become bigger and bigger. We can all look at the economy and on the nursing care situation and know that it is not something you want to sit up.
Despite scepticism from her mother was the 57-year-old tv star is not even worried.
– When I suggested it, I was not concerned for my own privacy. It should probably go, I thought. We have a door you can close.
– What were you thinking when your mother declined the idea?
I said: ‘WHY?’, but she just said that she should have time to think about it. And she would not. Perhaps she thought; ‘You must not interfere in how I live my life, how I spend my money’, laughs she.

Line Baun Danielsen is like a child himself raised in a familiekollektiv. She did this until she was 15 years old.
I am grown up, where two generations have lived under the same roof. I enjoyed myself very much to stay with my grandmother, she says.
the Tv host himself has two sons, and the idea of living with them one day is certainly not far off.
– I could even imagine myself living together with my own children again at a time. It is a touching thought, to give space for the different generations. I think that there are many advantages to stay together for all parties.
the Dream of living with mother is not laid in the tomb forever.
– It may also well be that it turns into something, but right now, the time was not ripe. It is not something that I need to push her, she rolls fast.
