hell0 friend! well, I really didn't knew that oldage homes getting popular and popular with each day, month, year. it is really sad to know that there are people who prefer to leave their parents, the people who have bought them to this world, the people who have cared for them, the people who have supported them and have helped them, the people who have loved them and I am sure that they still love them, no matter that they have leave them in an oldage home, because leaving your parents in a place like that is unforgivable! For me parents are more important even than God, because they are the people as I already told, who have given everything they have just to know that I am OK and I don't missing anything! So now you are askign why there are more and more people who prefer to leave their parents in an oldage home, than to take care for them, and to take the role of the parents, I mean to switch the places. Maybe this happens because the I world and the people namely have turned into animals( maybe even some animals take care for the parents), in the present world people care more for their careers and money than for their parents and families, and that's why I think that some people leave their parents in these awful places, just because they don't have time for them, which is actually the most sad part- people, who don't have time for their parents are actually no people, they are even worse than the wild animals, worse than the worst man on the Earth Hope that you will never leave your parents in place like that!

I am really sorry for your parents! well, as you say people begin new life, changing jobs and their homes too, but this is actually not an excuse for me to leave their parents in an oldage home. well, sometimes parents also won't to move, and then they stay, but I guess that's not in the most of the cases BE HAPPY my friend!

The children are very busy now-a-days. They do not have time to spare to look after their parents. The spouses are also not cooperating to look after in-laws. There will be constant fight in between them in this regard. After a tiring day's work, they cannot everyday face a fight at home and require some peace. Hence they sacrifice this responsibility of taking care of the parents. They put them in oldage homes. But they should always remember that there is a tomorrow and a old age is waiting for them.

Hi Buchiji I agree with you, most guys are miss-guided missiles, having the remote control in the hand of the wives, they don't have regards for the parent in laws, want to live alone, leaving them in oldage homes.. But they forget, they will be left similarly one day!!!! Cheers. God bless you, have a nice day ahead. Professor ‘Bhuwan’. .

Yes dear umadper, these days oldage homes become popular,(ofcourse we must say thanks to them for caring old age people) not the cause of the children caring but for many reasons. Of late most of the people are interested to go to abroad and earn money, and the parents will not go alongwith them and you know there are problems for visa also. One more reason is family conflicts, misunderstanding among members. Some of them do not have time to share time with the parents busy in money making, daughter-in-laws won't feel responsibility (should think and treat them as they also like her parents) like this many reasons are there. I like my in-laws and my parents, even my husband look after them nicely, in this case i appreciate my husband much. We have a old age home here in Hyderabad, if you go and visit there you will be known the situation of the parents over there. I and my friend visit often to talk to them and distribute fruits. Each will have a different story, i feel very sad about them and will get tears. All they need is little care and the love and not the money. I will pray god not to get such situation to any of the people in this world.

hello umadper, Thank you for posting this good topic. Yes it definitely true & correct...It's actually getting popular nowadays...children do love/care their parents yes but they don't have time to take care of them as they tend to be very busy and thought taking care of their old loved one would take much of their time which is quite true as well...we took care of our grandmother until she went to heaven at 99 yrs.We just love her too much that we couldn't think of letting others take care of her while we are enjoying our lives..so no matter other relatives told us to put her in nursing home...we didn't as we can't accept the fact that she showed us love when we were growing up & when the time that she needs it we will just let her go...so anyways my grandma was so lucky that we loved her so much & she knows that we love her with all our heart....& it's our privilege and proudly an achievement to be with her until she celebrated her last birthday last year @ 99 yrs..
