I have come across a person who had sacrificed all his earnings and worth for the well being of his sons and they are now well settled in life. Now that father has become old is required to be cared for financially as well as physically to live up for the balance years of life. The sons have not turned up to come to the rescue of the father and deserted in his old age. It has really hurt ed me and I am very sad to see that man. Because I lost my parents in the child hood and I always have a feelings that I could not do any thing for my parents. To me if had my parents alive I would have kept them with serving them through out the life. How u will react and behave in such a situation. Pleas let us discuss.

Nowadays it is very common of children deserting their parents. They don't appreciate what their parents have gone through to raise them. one of my cousin has left my uncle & aunt to make a good fortune in Saudi Arab as a doctor. He has got a good job over there and he is well settled with a family of his own. But he dare not turn to come back to take his home country to take them back or help them with cash. The time always changes. At one moment we are dependent on our parents & the other moment they are dependent on us. But we never take this responsibility seriously. These people can only learn if they experience the feeling of unwanted by their own kids.

Thank u Appchem, Really after we are well settled in life with our family, we forget to care for our old aging ailing parents who brought up us to this stage. To me there must be law for the care of the aged and ailing parents.

Hello, I have friend who is now in his seventies and his only son is working away from the city and living with his wife.this son often coming to home and threatening the parents to sell the property and pay him the money for construction of his own house in his place of posting.this his mother opposed and the got irritated and beat his mother in the presence of his father and the father could not say a word out of fear.this the attitude of the young mass now a days.my friend's wife narrated the episode before me and cried.I advised my friend not allow his son to enter in to the house in future and not even talk to him over phone.these people don't realize how we have sacrificed our life and everything for their comforts and in the end when we actually need their help in our old age they are torturing us.they may not come to help us but they have no right to humiliate us in our old age.It is not a single case.everywhere you will see this type of rudeness of the young mass now a days.thanx.

Dear friend, It is really a pity and moreover I hope they would get it from their children. Recently a married women deserted her husband with his 2months old child and poor man he went to court and now he asked for a demand of Rs.8.00 lakhs and 86 sovereign of gold for the settlement what a pity the world is moving with people with cheats.
