[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Big myth that the current senior generation took care of elders. The Longitudinal Study of Generations out of California showed that boomers were the first generation to do so. Previous generations left seniors to fend for themselves, they would just move away, or go into retirement homes. That's why they are oblivious to caregiving. My senior neighbours, so over 80, none of them did elder care and I didn't even know they had parents until they mentioned they were going to funerals. [/quote] That’s interesting because in my family parents lived with children. My grandparents on both sides (born from 1900-1910) cared for their parents in their homes. My parents (born late 30s to mid 40s) also cared for their parents. [/quote]
