will you stay unmarried to take care of your old/sick parents?

The is not applicable to me, as I am already married for more than last 07 years. I think other way around. To take better care of your parents you should get married. Because your spouse will also join you in caring your parents. I am not ready to be pessimist here. Your decision of not to marry makes it clear that you believe your spouse will not take care of your parents. Be optimistic. Please give a second thought.

Of course you may do whatever is best for you. However, I don't think people should feel that they must make this kind of enormous personal sacrifice in order to take care of aging parents. I think most parents want to see their children living happy and fulfilling lives.

Its not that its not acceptable, it figure its just that maybe many ppl dont understand it becuase they CAN'T..if they arent in that situation or never have been AND if htey AREN'T close to their parents then there is no way they could understand your feelings or why you are doing what you are.... for me personally I will admit that I fully dont understand..I dont like my parents, they dont like me so I would never dream of putting my life on hold for them..they dont deserve it...BUT I realize that some ppl such as yourself have that strong bond and are willing to sacrifice themselves because of that bond ya kow..

My greatest respects to you. Rarely someone is found, these days who would like to give up or postpone marriage for the sake of caring old/sick parents. But the demands of youth are also there, and there is a time for marriage after which if you want to consider marriage it might be too late. How about locating a prospective groom who would "allow" you to have your parents with you? I may be talking about the impossible, may be these days it might be possible!?!

Marriage does not many any difference to take care of your parents(Mum). In Many cultures after marriage girl must move to husbands home. In this way you think there will problem arises. I think you should choose your mate, who also love in taking care of their parents. Choose your partner of your kind. That will help you. You said you will stay single for your parents. Is your mother will happy you being single? What is her desire. You have a good feeling towards your parents. It makes really feel good. We should take care of them. They have devoted their life just for us children.

well to stay single or not it up to you, you're dealing with your own life, no one else can take the decision for you. In my point of wiew though I think you should not stay single, your parents made and lived their lives and now it's your turn,when I'll have kids and get old yes I will like very much if they care for me but I wouldn't want them to not fulfill their dreams or to fully live their lives beacause of me. It's ok to care about your mom but don't forget about yourself, your mom will get older and one they she will be gone, and then when you will not have to take care of her anymore, maybe it will be too late for you to seattle down and to marry and have kids. Find a good partner that will be ok for her if you spend some time with your mom beacause you want to take care of her and you love her. That's just my thougt.

I can relate to your situation as some of my aunties were remained unmarried to take good care of my old and sick grandparents... I admire them for being such loving and caring children... however, they are not getting any younger.. i want to see them marry someone they truly love and be happy and content... if i were you, i'd get married and let my parents stay at our house so i can still attend to their needs... goodluck

It is difficult to answer this question. I have a friend, who is a girl remains unmarried to take care of her old parents. I don't think my parents will expect me to be with them unmarried to take care of them. They can appoint a servant to take care of them. Also, they will be worried that I am wasting my life being with them, taking care of them.

i dont think your parents will also be happy to think that you will stay single just to take care of them for in fact you can take care of them even if your married. just to think of it, what will happened if the time comes that both of them will die. who will take care of you too when you got old? i know we are willing to sacrifice for our love one but we can do that while at the time be happy. besides im sure they will be happy to see you married also and with kids as someday your kids will going to do the same to you. you can keep your parents with you im sure your partner will understand. just think of yourself too not just for now.

Hi ksmita a vey sensitive question like u even i like my mother very much.But ask ur mom she will if u get married to some1.Staying single it depends bt i will suggest u 1 thing just look 4 some1 who will take care of both of u.As far as acceptancy is concerned do wat u feel is correct after all its ur life.i will pray for ur mothers health.take care

Well this is a difficult question i feel. Yes sometimes i can feel we can do that for taking care of parents. But other way even we need someone to take care of us, so we can care of parents. So marriage is must at any cost.

It does not necessarily mean that you will have to remain single to take care of your sick parents. Of course your parents also would love to see you have a family of your own. You can take care of them by many ways. You can visit them regularly. You can call them and check if they have taken their medications and if they have eaten. You can watch their diet by checking if they are eating the right food. Thigs like that, parents would also appreciate that as well.
