Do you take care of your parents really?

My parents aren't old enough to be cared for, as in giving personal care such as hygiene and stuff. If ever they are old age and unable to cope on their own, I'll keep them with me and since I'll be pursuing a nurse career it would benefit them as I can take care of them =D My parents wouldn't want to live in a nursing or a care home if ever they become old aged. But, as of now I'm trying my best to help them as possible with house chores since they are the one who are doing the work to pay for the house and food. :D I'd definitely keep them either live next door wherever I live.

hi there! right now i am not living with my parents anymore coz i am living in another province with my husband...this is something that i really don't want to happen coz as much as possible i want to always stay near them...but like what you have said, there are things that we don't have in our hands and there some circumstances that makes us away from our parents. but even if i am not living with them, i see to it that even in a small way i can show them that i'm caring for them, i always spend my vacation with them which is only once in a year for just a week or two, but i make sure that those days that i am with them will be always happy and yes spend quality time with them. they are not yet that old, my dad is still working but i am also helping them in bringing my brother to school. for me, i want them not to work anymore but just have a rest and enjoy their lives but that is not possible at this time due to our financial standing...but when they gets really old and cannot afford to work very well, i think i will choose to keep them with me or at least near me and take care of them...i think that's the least i can do to my parents and i think that is not enough...coz i owe them my life and who am i now and i think they just deserve to be take cared of...and loved specially on their old aged...that's one thing that parents would really appreciate and makes them happy even on the last few years of their lives... have a nice day and blessings!

Uhm... How am I going to "attack" this question? LOL My parents are not that old to care for but I have deep emotions for old people. I like talking to my grandparents when they were still alive. Anyway, what I do now to help my mother is to give her a part of my salary. And in October, I'll treat them to an island tour since it's her birthday. I think that could be the best thing I could do for them now.

kumarpslv, I have never yet responded to a discussion that hit my heart. My parents are in faraway California. My father is even in a nursing home. He has chronic kidney ailment and expert caregivers must monitor his condition correctly. It is my duty to take care of them. But I couldn't because my home is here with my two daughters. My father is being cared for by strangers. I am never more grateful to strangers than I am now. My mother goes to the nursing home every morning. She also has her own share of physical discomforts. Children must always be by their parents' side in their old age. My siblings are there though. But I am also their child. I can only pray that God keep them warm.

Yes, I love my parent and care for them too. My father is a working person so We need not to support him financially but emotionally and mentally we do support them. Whenever they feel they need our help we always give out 100% to them as they are our parents and we must take care of each other. If the time come and they want our presence in anyways we are always there for them.

I sometimes Do care my parents, but most of the time I am so shy to show my feelings of care for them that will end up going outside the house and share your love with your friends and sometimes, end up to cleaning the house, helping them on household chores without any talkings and doing all what they said and all the things they ask. Showing your care for them is real hard for them especially to my father. It's okay to me in showing my care to my mother but not to my father, i really get so shy of showing it, so i just make a way sometimes like a joking and fooling around in the sense that they will laugh at it..:) OMG I really cant show it directly to them.

Its Good That A Feeling About your Parents has Indeed Cropped Up Your Mind .. Just think How will you Feel When You Are Left To Fend For Yourself By your Children In Your Old Age .. I Stay with My Parents .. They are doing Really Fine .. They Are really Happy With their Grandchildren .. Thanks .. God Bless All ..

Many people feel an obligation to support their aged parents in old age, but are not so ready to accept them staying with them. For my wife and myself, we were confronted with this question even before we tied the knot and got married. My wife asked me if I minded it if her mother moved in to stay with us after we got our new home. She was frank and actually told me I had little choice but to try and accept it. Well I did, and my mother-in-law had been staying with us for the past 23 years in our apartment, and still does. I treat her like my own mother, we have a maid to look after her due to her old age, and we pay for all her expenses. Things worked out very well, and she is happy staying with us. She does her own thing and respects our privacy, and in return, we also respect her privacy. So we live harmoniously and without any quarrels. My own mother is still living, and she is staying with a brother of mine, so she is happy being taken care of also in her old age.

Although my parents is not old enough to need my take care of.But i think any parents want their children to take care of them.It is the duty of our.Taking care of them is not only to give them money but also emotional.Maybe the emotional is more important.After working these years,i do not give the better care for my parents.this is my mistake.

Because i live in another country, so i can't take care my parents every day. however i promised them no matter what happened in my life i will still visit them once per year at least. I really did like i said. Every year i visited them and stayed over 3 weeks with them. I cooked and did many house works for them. i also gave them a reseanable money even they said they don't need my money. When i came back to uk i always call them, at least once per week. So for the time being my parents and I all satisfied with the situation. Later if i have saved some money i will invite my parents to visit me in the UK. At last i will let them stay in the UK and look after them daily. it's my dream and i need to work hard to make it come true.

My parents are not living with me. I am 61 staying away from my parents with my son and family. My father is 97 and mother 86 and staying at native with my younger brother and family.They are in good health except some oldage problems. They do their works their own without other's help. Still I care very much for my parents. Do get in touch with them alternate days. God is Great.

yes !! My parents always live with me ??? If u ask me about this ?? Yes i will live my parents in whole life ??

I think I can only realize that things when they are already gone which hurts the most for me, I rather keep moving on to be closer to my Mother and father so we can have some bonding with my sister and my husband. My husband love them so much like my his own parents which I love thinking of, and opposite of what I feel about his Mother I think but, I got no fix decision on My situation in there house because I really don't go out from my room when I'm at their house so I cant get the right thing to say about his Parents. We barely see each other though their house only got four rooms 2 upstairs and 2 downstairs which I called the "cave", coz it is placed underground which I like coz every afternoon it's very warm feeling i got from there.. combination of cold and a little bit hot but not too much..:)

Traditionally, in the east, the oldest son has to take care of them when he is working. The daughter-in-law must live up to the role. But nowadays, kids are staying too far from parents. It is no longer convenient. It is not easy to get parents to move to city. So, we are talking about an old tradition no longer uphold in the modern world. It is dying, a dying tradition.

my dad had already passed away and mom is in her old age, but not that really old as she likes to do a lot of things. she lives far from me, although i want her to live close so when she gets sick i can go to her right away. the last time she got sick, she asked my little brother to bring her here and we brought her to the hospital, that was for a week she was confined and i was the one watching over her there. if she lives close i can watch for her most of the time. she's still teaching in a public school in the city, while i am here in the province. about two hours drive away.

They have spent a lot of their lives take care of me until I learned my manhood responsibilities. I believe that the school system no longer requires people to either study manhood or womenhood which can create a lot of confusion in our society today. Manhood has many responsibilities and a long time ago African people had to acquire this rites stage in life. We need to know that being a man is to be as rightous as possible and not what society has alienated people to think. We need to take responsibility and taking care of your parents is the most important one on that list. I would take care of them no matter what the cost is because I can only image how hard it was to raise me when they were at my age. God bless

Dear Kumar, My mum who is 76 years old stayed with me. We actually take care of each other! My father who is 81 stayed with my brother, in actual fact he is still working free lance and helping my brother and his family... I do feel bad that my other 6 siblings and I cannot afford to give the best to both my parents. At this age they should be relax and enjoy life, not worrying about their children, grandchildren and great grandchildren... -sigh- There is an old saying : Treat your parents well, and your children will treat you well too! Because children tend to do what their parent did. Treat others the way you want others to treat you! All the best and hope to hear your views on my topic too!

In my opinion,my parents are always playing the important role of my life no matter when I was in infancy,childhood,youth,adulthood and other periods.They devoted themselves to bringing up their children in all aspects.Thus,we have the duty to take care of them at anywhere,at any moment.Even if they are old aged in the future,we should pay more attention to their lives so that they cant feel lonely and helpless.But,on the other hand,we should understand that they have their own lives and we should give their freedom to live cozily and happily.As for me,I sometimes purchase some special and their favorite gifts in online shop,which is a convenient and time saving way to show my love to them.As it is,we will get along with each other and benefit mutually.

yes i take care of my parents,my parents are aged now i take them more cautiously, in fact i really treat them as a child they are now in the second childhood they done some mistakes but i take it easy as what they did that when i was in the childhood.i really love them lot....

well i love my mom.. so i care my mom even if she old
