[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think traditional Asian families tend to care for their elderly parents at home, if at all possible. It seems only Americans are eager to quickly find ‘a place for mom’ institution. Unless absolutely necessary, the American way is tragic.[/quote] What's tragic, and deeply not acceptable, it putting all the burden of eldercare on the female members of the family. Typically the elder's daughter(s). Especially in the American culture where many of these women work. What you'll often see is women killing themselves with the process of trying to take care of elders, children, and work. No thank you, I encourage my children to put me in a home that I'm saving to pay for. [/quote]
