Hi freinds is it correct to send your parents to old age homes as they became old?Do you like old age homes?I don't like them?
As our parents grown up they teah us what is right what is wrong how to leave in this society.From small things to big one they will be with us.In that age also if they came to know if there kids are in problem they get upset and they try to help us.
But because of one reason they became old sending them to old age homes is not correct as per me.What you say about this?Am i correct?
When we will see a world with out old age homes is it possible?

its definitely not right to send your parents to old homes when they get old. they didnt raise us so that we would throw them out when they stepped in the most difficult and painful stage of life. our parents have bourne our every rudeness, deficiency in character, our terrible behaviors their whole lives with love and care. and when they start getting old, and start demanding attention we are tired of them so suddenly. since we think that we dont need them anymore we throw them out. how unfair!

I too don't like them either...i always felt that our parents had gone through so much of hard time making us grown up...but still their are many children how didn't care about such things, neither they have time for them nor even the place to make them live in their house and so didn't able to take the responsibility of making the life of their parents a little bit easier during their old age...I feel very soory for them...it is our responsibity to take very good care of them and try to give them the world happiness...

No it is not. But, there are problems on both sides. From parents as well as children. Parents do teach us a lot, but it exceeds the limits sometimes. And they shouldn't be exceeding their limits as well. I love my father and respect him and care for him. And, I would never send him to an old age home. But, if he interfered with my personal affairs everyday and if he starts looking into my personal things, and my bedroom and after I get married, if he tries interfering between me and my wife, then obviously, I will need space. And I would think of creating it. Parents sometimes don't understand their kids need space and privacy too. That's where the problem begins.
And some children, because their parents are old fashioned feel odd to keep them at home when their friends visit them and they don't like that, so they put them in old age homes. But, there is another solution also. If you feel your parents are not giving you enough space and privacy, then just rent another house for them and keep them over there, and visit them regularly. That's perfect. That's what even my cousin has done. And also some parents, prefer living that way. But, am always against old age homes. There can be much better solutions than that.
