[quote=Anonymous][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]

+10000 also. I love caring for my kids and would not trade that for anything in the world. And my parents spent a lot of time and money on raising me. It’s sad that the adult child not to reciprocate.[/quote]

My mom needs 24/7 care. My mom did not provide me with 24/7 care as a child for more than a few months. It is just not realistic for people to provide that level of care for anyone, parent or not. When my mom was home with aides, they would not stay for more than 24 hours at a time because otherwise it was too much. PP it sounds like you haven't taken care of someone with dementia. Consider yourself lucky.[/quote]
