[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Old people want to age in place and stay in their houses and that's fair.

What's not fair is when they were young people who bought a luxury house on credit they can't afford, and tryd to scam their kid to pay for it. [/quote]

I don’t think they are scamming kids.

My dad can no longer care for himself. He doesn’t want to go to a nursing home and wants to stay home. My elderly mom, brother and 2 home aids take care of him at home. He is not scamming anyone. He wants to die at home.[/quote]
He is scamming others if he isn't paying for it himself.

Taking food from his grandchildrens mouths to pay for this is scamming them. [/quote]

I think it teaches family values. My children have watched me care for my parents. We have given up family vacations to visit my parents. We have visited both my mom and dad in the hospital and rehab center and when they return home.

I hope that my children will visit me and take care of me when I’m old.

[b]I’m alswayz surprised how selfish and disloyal people can be towards their family.[/b] Of course there are exceptions if there was abuse but these are the people who gave you life and raised you. [/quote]
I'm always surprised how selfish parents can be. You'd rather your kids support you instead of funding their childrens college funds. You'd rather your kids support you instead of buying their own home. You'd rather your kids support you instead of funding their own retirement. How dare you call someone else selfish when you're this terrible of a parent and this terrible with money. [/quote]
