is it fair to leave your parents all by themselves

No it is not fair. In my family we believe in taking care of our elders and not leaving them alone to die. It is sad that in some places, people don't respect their elders and end up treating them like a burden. You can gain so much knowledge from parents, relatives, or any elder that talks about their life to you. They are so filled with wisdom and deserve our respect. Nowadays many put their parents in a home for the elderly with strangers..or they get them a condo or apartment to stay in and don't even check on them to see if they need anything. It very sad and shameful. People forget that they too will become elderly and will worry about who will take care of them. How would they feel if their children do the same thing they saw done to their grandparents?

I live in the USA and when parent's children grow up they are expected to move out of the home, and get their own place and own lives. And then the parents have their house back, and their own lives together. it's normal for that to happen. plus it happens all of the time.

Yes parents need to be tkenm care of and whatever way we choose it should be the one which allows them dignity and resect in their advanced age. In other countries the welfare facilities are much better than what we have in India so its nice thaty people shift to homes in oldage and not become a burden for their kid with busy lives. In India we do keep parents with us but so many times we neglect them too. we so often treat out elders so badly that I often feel its better if they had sent the person to an old age home. I have seen quite a few people who suffered so much after they had reached there prime that it was terrible and just because we lack such good facilities these old people became a burden to everyone. In other countriues if the facility of old age home is good and the person licves with dignity after a certain age I think its very much fine. How many times do you think we sit with our grandparents after coming home. I am not saying all of us do so but the reason a movie like baghban was made and became hit does tell us some of the reality we have to see.

It is not fair at all to leave our parents all by themselves. Leaving them just like that means that we don't respect and appreciate them at all! For all what they have done to make sure we are where we are, all the sacrifices that they made, we owe them a lot. I hope we are supposed to live with them where we are, in our homes so that we take care of them in their old age. Or if we are not living with them, we make sure that wherever they are they have somebody who is taking care of them and ourselves we make frequent visits to see how they are getting along. We are supposed to provide for them what they need and apart from visiting them, we be always updated on their well-being. This will show that we love them, we care and are concerned about their lives and more so we appreciate them for bringing us up. Although this world is full of perplexing situations which may make resources unavailable, we are supposed to try our level best to maintain the well-being of our parents.
