Am I overthinking?

I work in remote based startup of Bangalore. And I live with my wife and infant in some tier 2 City. And my parents live in my hometown. I don't want to shift to my hometown as it doesn't have basic facilities available and I don't like being there as I get bored. My parents didn't want to leave hometown. And they continuously tells me yaha kyu nhi rehte. What should I do?

You can stay with parents when your Kids have vacations. Have your parents visit you for a month once or twice a year. There’s no need to stay with parents all the time, will lead to more kalesh.
Everything is good in moderation.

Yeah that's why yar, there are small small things which led to kalesh. Plus my wife is working and my mom will expect her to cook also and take care of baby it will be too much for her. Here atleast we have Cook and maid. Parents don't even want to hire them.

It’s difficult for parents to leave their social circle and move to a city. My parents also get bored when they visit me in Mumbai.

It’s best to spend some time with family in the hometown (1-2 months during festivals). At the same time they can visit and stay with you for 2-3 months. That way they will get used to city life. Help them make friends in the city, convince them to try new experiences; am sure they will start liking it.

All the best.
