How to Live With Needful Aging Parents?

My mother chose to live where she does. Now I go visit her, in that way I do my best to make sure that she is well taken care of. My mother wouldn't want to live at my house, too many cats.

My mother took care of her parents. My grandfather and grandmother stayed in our house in the twilight of their lives. It took a lot of patience but it is actually alright because even us kids cannot think of a better place for them to stay than our house. My grandparents did not ask for much, just time and patience.

Just think about your childhood. Your Father provided everything for you, food, education, clothes, toys, medicines, outings and what not? If he saved all that money, he would have made fortunes. We do not want to see our own excretia. But your mother cleaned your excretia, urine, lost her sleep to feed you in the night, make you sleep. Though she was working, after coming home she did not sit before TV. She prepared food and snacks for you. She celebrated your birthday. Foregoing her sleep, she took care of you when you were sick. Should we hesitate and ponder on taking care of them? The person who puts aged parents in care homes without any proper reason, will definitely go to hell. Do not take the curse of parents. It is not good for any one.

Since I am the one in the best position to care for my aging parents, I intend to accept the responsibility once it becomes necessary. I have a mother, a father and a stepmother and none of them will ever be in nursing homes! I had to have my mom in a rehab home when she broke her pelvic bones but I visited every day and made sure she was being properly taken care of--thank God, because there were some very serious violations of medical treatment and once they found that my mom had someone that loved her they treated her properly. Right now my sister has moved in with my mom and it's working out well for them both. When my sister retires my mother will need more care and they will both probably move in with me. I look forward to that, truly. I love my family.

My Mom is in her 70's now, and she lives alone. and is still very active. But if the time ever comes when she needs to be cared for i would not hesitate to care for her, and i am sure their will be 7 of us kids that will want her to come and stay. So she will have to decide which one of us she would want to live with.

I chose to live near with my parents since my brothers and sisters lives far away from us. i have to take care of them even when they are not yet old, i am just so glad that my brother's family would soon transfer here near my parents and so they are here to help taking care of my parents too.

hi getbrowser as an elderly mother whose son lost his job, and we ran out of money, got behind on the rent, so were evicted, I can tell you my story. My son did what he felt was best, and I had to agree, he helped me get into this assisted living retirement center, not because I need any assisting, but because we had no home and the only money was mysocial security check and ssi. those are paying for my rent and board here. He was responsible and he did the responsible thing as I do have a bad leg which makes walking far very uncomfortable. we will again get back together when he gets a job.right now he is in gov.sponsored housing so he will have a place to live while he looks for work. he does care but he could do nothing else in this situation,.

We must take care of our aged parents as they had done lot of hard work behind our carrier, progress and health. It will teach our children to take care of us in future. Parents are like a tree and we have to become extra roots for them like in banyan tree and not becoming birds that takes help of tree to grow and then fly away.

It used to be that all the inlaws and kids and their kids all lived together in a big house together. This rarely happens now days but it such a good thing. It used to be that the old folks were respected and were usually the head of the family and nothing big went down without it going through the 'old folks' first. You bet I would take care of the aging parents! I did take care of my mom. I actually quit the full time great job I had worked so to get to take a lesser job part-time so I could be there for my mother in her last few months before Cancer took her from us. I think it is only right. How do you live with them? Respect and communication goes a long way!

In our country children really have the passion to take care of their aging parents. In my case we take turns in taking care of our parents. When they got sick if take turns in looking after them in the hospital and even share the hospital bills. WE send money too for their medications and other needs. My youngest sister gave up her job in the United States to take care of my mom when my dad passed away last year. Now they have a business at home and my mom is enjoying it and the company of my sister. WE used to visit her especially during especial occasions. Our parents deserve all the love, support and care that they need from us. Without them i will never be where i am today. I love them so much! I am committing myself to taking care of mom anytime she'll give me a call to come home to province to take care of her and spend the remaining days of her life on earth. I am willing to file a leave from my work just to be with my aging mom.

For me i really love to take care my grandparent because since i was younger i was with them until i grow older.And i learned many thing from my grandma and grandfa.I enjoyed living with them and they are part of my family.In our country its very rare to send the older people in nursing home only the riches people cn afford that one.For me i will be the one to take care of my parents , i will never send them to out.

I am a girl, and now single. I live in a relatively affluent city. If later I got married, I am willing to work with my husband's parents live, as long as their ideas open. However, in my point of view, I don't think the elderly are not sent home for the elderly living filial piety. If sent home for the elderly living filial piety. If I'm old, while my husband passed away earlier than me, then I prefer to go to homes for life. Because there is a considerable age with my friends, we have a common a topic.

There is need to care for a lovely parent. A sweet parent ofcourse. You can avoid degenerative disease. They need care afterall, they care for us when we are young. Lets care for them.

I'd say on rotation. Siblings need to cooperate and take care of parents in their homes. But if they are super busy, perhaps they can hire a maid to assist when they are working, but to try and interact with their parents whenever they get back home from work. But some really dire situations, I have seen some cases whereby they put their parents in a home. If possible, try to avoid that unless there is really2x no other solutions, which I think anything can be solved. If the parent is bedridden, there can always be a nurse or caretaker in the home of the daughters/parents, stationed on a rotation. This is my take on this..

I helped take care of my dad for his final months of late-stage cancer, and years later was the main care giver for my mom in her final months. I could not even think of putting them in a nursing home. With limited time remaining, I wanted to share in as much of it as possible. As difficult as it was at the time, I'd give anything to have another day, week or month of their company. They took care of me when I was an infant and helpless, the least I could do is the same for them when they were in need. However, I know that there are elders who benefit to be in more structured nursing facilities because of the nature of their needs, or whose children all work outside the home an just cannot do it. These sons and daughters do as much as they can and they feel the same anguish that any child feels with the immenent loss of a parent. I cannot fault anyone who is doing as much as they can.

My parents are in their 80s already. I have stayed home most of the time and do my money making scheme online. Most of the time, I would postpone my errands and will only do so if I am only sure that there is someone who would take care of them. It is just that I feel that being a daughter , I feel responsible to make sure that they are well and ok.

Yap, i will live with my aging parents, i will take care of them with all that i can. I will never be here if it was not for my loving parents.
