Immigrants - How long did you have you have your parents over to help?

I live in Australia and I am originally from India. With most Indians around me I notice Indian parents are quite flexible to help as long as needed. My sister had my parents over for an year when she had her both babies. I feel quite strange to have their lives disrupted for so long and also ours. And, my husband is from NZ. So, I think we both enjoy our private space and we respect others and don't take their help for granted.

Any one with mixed race couples experience on how long you felt you needed help from your parents? Any other thoughts or suggestions to consider would be super helpful.

Being an immigrant means - I can either have my parents for long or not at all. There is unfortunately no middle ground. Once they leave, I won't see them for another year or so. It's confusing how to balance between independence vs support.
