Is it right to disown ur parents in old age??

Even how cruel or irresponsible our parents to us, when they get old, we still have no right to disown them. Whatever happens, it is disrespectful to disown them. "Do not do unto others what you do not want others do unto you"...If you disown your parents as they get old, definitely your children will likewise do the same when you get old.

hi francis, As a child i believe we have a responsibilities to our parents especially during the time that they can't take care of themselves this is the time for us to return the love and care that they give to us. For me whatever happen i want my parents to be with me even i will have my own family. happy posting

I think that's really sad and unfortunate. No, I do not believe that it's right to disown your parents in old age. I understand that sometimes parents can be overbearing and try to interfere in their children's lives, but if that parent has been there for you their entire life and raised you then I think their old age is a chance for you to repay them for everything that they've done for you. While I think generally I think this is wrong, I do see some situations where I think it would be understandable if someone did that to their parents. If the parent has been there for you for your entire life and supported you then it's wrong. There are some people who have not been, and are not, good parents however. There are children who have been raped, abused, and disrespected their entire lives. If those children grow up and happen to become well-settled and want nothing to do with their parents at that time, I cannot say I can judge their actions as wrong.

It is never right to disown your parents in any age. It's a totally rude. Only snotty and cheap people do that. This is a very disturbing issue as I have parents and I am a parent as well. Imagine if your child disown you when you're getting older, how would you feel? Interesting discussion!

Throwing your parents in old age homes during their old age is really a cheap act. Its when they need your love and support just like they did when you were a child. I would never do that to my parents. I need them forever even if i grow up to be independent and dont need their help financially. Money cant bring that love and caring to you. I urge everyone not to disown their parents during any stage of their life, whatsoever may be the case.

hi..let it be any case,one should not leave their parents for any reason..then it means tat they don't have heart to do such a worse thing..how much care parents took on us from childhood..was tat all to do such a weird thing on them??! infact they wont expect us to keep them on top,,but atleast we should support them till their life..its actually a duty for every children to take care of them n give ur love!

of course not... it is very unfilial, ungrateful, cruel and disrespectful to do that to our own parents... they had given birth, raised us and educate us since we are born until adults... when we can already stand on our own feet, it is our turn to repay what our parents had done for us all these times by looking after and taking care of them when they are already old... take care and have a nice day...

Absolutely not right. Here we often heard such stories too. It is often the case that the elder got more than one kid. And so the kids push their parent to each other's house. They got many excuses. For example: being treated equal when they are young,(parents tend to prefer boys than girls in some places); their economic conditions; Whatever the reason, their aim is to not let their parents live in their own house. Actually, they can spend hundreds on pets, but they are not willing to give their parents some room to live. Maybe they think pets are lovely, while older parents are useless and dirty. I think these kind of people is no different from animals. No, even some anmials won't discard their parents. They should be jailed for their attitude to their parents, or they soon or later can enjoy such treatement by their own kids in the future.

in our country we dont have home for aged and its in our tradition also. we really took care of our parents even if their not old. thats how we brought up with our parents too.

How could someone disown their parents? Many reasons for some and unreasonable for most who opt to do it. Personally parents should never and must not be treated as such. We owe our lives to them. They may be good or bad in parenting, still its their sons and daughters responsibility to do taking good care of them when they needed it.We exist because of them so there are no justifications applicable to abandon any parents, even if they had abandon us.Parents are parents there is no other option than to love them.

well i agree with you. nothing can justify throwing away your parents. i don't understand how people don't feel guilty after doing such a thing? if they just think a minute about their childhood days they will realize how much parents have done for them. well not all the elders in the old age homes are there cause their children dumped them. some of these parents kids settle abroad put they never want to leave their home land and hence to be more secure, such parents opt to stay in old aged homes themselves too :)

hello francis! Disowning our parents when they're old is the most cruel thing children can do their parents. My only question for people who do just that to their parents is this, "Would you like your children to do the same to you when you're old?" Life is a cycle. We are born, grow, mature and get old. The in-between is how we live our life. Anyway, no matter how you were as a parent, it's simply a natural thing to do to provide care and love for our parents when they grow old, just like what they have done for us when we were still babies and still incapable of caring for ourselves. Since they are already old and cannot care for themselves alone, it is up to the children to do this. However, sometimes children get so busy and loaded with work that they set up their parents at foster homes or home for the aged so they will be taken care of. That's quite alright as long as you, the children, see to it that your parents are receiving the right treatment and care at such homes.

I don't even believe, how some one can think like that. Don't forget.. history repeat itself. Then, what will you do..you will get only that which you have given."Parents are always parents. Neither they are responsibility nor burden. Some day or other we have to show our face to almighty God..will you be in a position to face it..?

If you are an adult you can do whatever you want to. You don't have to answer to any other human being.
