It depends on how retarded he is. My mom's brother was mentally retarded, to a point where he couldn't do anything himself. He had to wear diapers, he had to be fed by someone else, and he couldn't hold things right. If he was like that, unless I had help from somebody else, I'd probably put him in a home where he could get better care, but I'd still visit him a lot.
My dad's brother, he's not really retarded, but you can tell there's something wrong with him. I think he got really sick when he was a kid and didn't make a full recovery, I dunno. But if he was like my uncle, then I would let him live with me. My uncle lives with my aunt now, and she has to drive him everywhere because he can't drive, but she doesn't have to worry about him as much.
