[QUOTE="Laurie!, post: 297276, member: 2210"] I think it's still very common now in a lot of Asian cultures. Often, there's several generations in the same home. It's not a custom to put your elders in a long term care home like recent generations of European descent do in Canada and the U.S. It's like we don't want to invest our own time in looking after them sadly. My paternal grandmother lived with us growing up until she passed away. It created a lot of drama with my mother. Two strong willed women competing to be the head of the household. I think that drama was the intent on DALLAS but with the added layer of grown sons, spouses and both grandparents. As for Cally being too young for JR...I think it was just because she was such a stereotypical, non worldly hillbilly when they met that made it seem silly. Also, her hick brothers seemingly getting the better of JR by forcing him to marry her. The real JR wouldn't have stood for that. He would just take Cally's virginity, leave and never look back.
