my parents believe that you are not obligated to take care of your parents as they get old. it is not good for parents to force their children to take care of them as they get old. it is better to leave this all up to the children if the children would wholeheartedly and happily take care of their parents because it's never an obligation for a child to take care of their parents. i wrote this for parents who obliges their children to take care of them it is a blessing for them if the child wants to give something back to them. but i do firmly believe that it is just right to give something back to our parents after all their hardwork in raising us. it is bad enough to put them in a home for the aged.

well in our case my grandma is a very badmouthed mother but my father opted to still take care of her despite her attitude towards us, his family. for this fact any children is capable of taking care of their parents regardless of what their parents have done in the past. my grandma is blessed that she has a son like my father.

I dont think I could ever place my parents in a nursing home, I would always want to look after them myself, just as they worked hard and sacrificed a lot for me growing up. Why dont more people re-pay their parents by doing this? Yes, it can be a lot of work, but surely they are worth it to you?

of course not. they will leave in our ancestral house till they die. i will take care of them. though not myself at all times but i'd rather hire someone expert to take good care of my parents in our house. why in our house? because they love that place. i wont send them to a place where there's restrictions. i do love my parents too. they're the love of my life and i just can't take it that they leaving our home.

We are 7 brothers and sisters that I don't think we will put our mother in a nursing home. We will take turns to take care of her or she will decide with who she wants to stay with. She is 70 years old and full of energy yet.
