[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP I appreciate your frankness. You were very clear that everyone's experiences and situations will be different, so I don't know why some people feel offended. (Except for the first reply - that person is the first reply on EVERY NEW THREAD and it is always negative and trashing the OP.)

Anyway I think it's good to normalize talking about the ugly side of elder care. There are no good solutions in the modern world unless you or your parents are rich and can throw money at caretakers. And even then I'm sure there are plenty of baggage issues mucking things up. It is so unbelievably complicated and you really can't win. You can only do your best while trying not to also drown.

Thank you, I think we aren’t being honest enough as a society about this side of longevity. We are trying to find a ways to live longer but what about the younger generations? Generational wealth is not built anymore, it’s all spent on eldercare. Statins, BP meds and insulin (and now GLP1s) are making people live for decades past their time, placing a burden on caregivers. 
I don’t want to do eldercare in my 60s!
