when your parents grow old would you rather keep them with you or admit them in a home fo the aged house?

i'll wanna keep them with me. i think they've done a great deal for us and the least we could do is repay them back by taking care of them when they get old =)
it's a duty.

In our country, it has never been the practice to leave our old parents in aged houses unlike in the US or other countries. This goes for most, no matter how they don't get along with their parents. Honestly, I am not in good terms with my mother but never will I leave her, or my dad, in a aged home. I'd rather have them with me. Just like my grandmother, who is now turning 85, lives with one of my aunts.
My philosophy is: When I get to THAT age, I wouldn't want my kids leaving me somewhere else.
