[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my culture, children care for their aging parents except for the more serious cases. I am a bit disturbed that so many Americans leave their parents to be cared for by strangers (for decades!) and their children to be raised by strangers too (nannies). Smh.

+100000.  I have no interest in providing unpaid labor to relatives.  Watching young children is grueling and boring.  Being a maid for an elderly person is awful.  I am so thankful I live so where I can earn enough to outsource this care.  There’s a reason white males don’t stay home with kids or sacrifice their lives to take care of their parents.  [/quote]

You sound awful. No mention of love.

My happiest days were spent caring for my children when they were young.

What would you rather do, get your nails done and play tennis?

So shallow and self-centered![/quote]

I'm with you PP.  I loved caring for my children when they were young.  My (white male) husband wanted to do it but he was able to make much more than me during the early years of our marriage.

I also cared for my elderly mother when she needed care.  My (white male) husband and (white male) brothers also helped care for her, as did my sister and our adult children.  Between all of us who loved and cherished her nobody was her full-time maid or caregiver.

In between caring for my young children and caring for my elderly mother were the many years I worked full-time and had more me time, but I wouldn't trade my providing care years for anything.[/quote]
