i just come across to one discussion where people are feeling so much sadness about the animal and want them to keep all of them to give space in their homes. but what about old houses? if we feel that much pain for animal why we cannot feel same pain for our parents and why we leave them in old houses when they really need our strength? is it our emotions dies for them when they get old or is it the traditions to follow?

I am also concerned about the Old people's home nowadays, there is not enough good ones. My mother stays in a little house near my brother, and we all take turns to visit, clean, and talk to her. She likes living alone. But I have difficulty for my aunt. She doesn't have any children and is now in a wheel chair, also living alone. She has asked me to find her a good old people's home, because she needs care and she likes being with other people. But i can't seem to find an aproriate one, that is safe, good doctors, clean, and loving, in my country. If I have millions of dollars, number one in my list is to build a loving and good old folk's home.

nice idea you have but are parents right just end when they get old and are we cannot provide them clean environment in our home? are we just forgot that when we were unable to walk and talk, they just help us a lot but now when they are unable to do so we just put them to old houses? isn't it sad?

once, my church visited an Old People's home, and yes, there are some old women there who are left there by their children. I too feel very sad. But some are there because they like to have friends with same ages as they are, Meanwhile their children's home are too small to take them in, and anyway, both husband and wife are working, so it was too lonely for them. Loneliness is very dangerous, because it can make you sick.

zahidz!I appreciate your feelings towards the aged parents.I support you in this.We have to be responsible to take care of our parents at their old age with their ailments.They took care for us like that with pure love when we were young.So,it is our turn now to show the gratitude at the least.But there are some narrow minded people who dump their parents at old age homes.Regarding this,I have a thought that whether they are those sons and daughters who were left alone crying in play schools by the parents who chased money?

thanks srganesh, but i see all in all type of young people,i seen one case where parents just give so much love to his son and give their property to their son also but still son just cant feel any emotions for their parents. so sad i think. and the thing i am afraid of is the ratios of these type of cases is increasing and it also spread to Asian people also.
