Its really annoying sometimes to see old people sent to old age homes because their children cant take care of them , or dont want to take care of them. It seems as we are earning more , growing up , and doing good in business and service , we are avoiding to keep our parents with us, yes i feel we are avoiding because we just dont want to take care of them. When we were kids our dad and mom took efforts to bring us up , give us good education , but those parents are burden for us. We do good , we have good money , big bunglows , houses , but our mentality is getting narrower. We dont want to take care of them because we are cowards , we have to face it , if our parents can bring us up , they face difficulties , face financail crunch still they try to provide us a good life. And when we have that good life we just throw them away , we dont want to take care of them.

It is sad that most children can't take care of their parents because of their jobs or the parents just need more medical attention. If it is possible to take care of the parents and do whatever else in life, I think most people would do it.
