Will you take careof your parents when thery're old and gray?

I will definitely take care of my parents in their old age. Already I am under pressure that I am not able to look after them because they are staying in a different place. AFter all, they are the ones who taught us how to love and care. I really try to emulate them and cherish all the values they have given us. I pass on the same things to my child also.

Yes, of course, I love my parents, they still care about me so much. It's great to care about our parents as all our credit goes to them for what we're today.

hi there, i think that no matter how much children are annoyed at their parents, they are still going to take care of them when they grow old. at least to some people maybe. i do miss my family all the time but we don't talk much because i am avoiding maters to get worse. i am a very quiet type of person (when it comes to family)and i hate all the fights at home and most especially when they get me involved. so to avoid all that, i just keep quiet and avoid them. but yeah of course i will take care of my parents in the future. i am a nurse, if i take care of my patients, it wold be a shame if i don't take care of my own family.

Yes i am thinking of my parents about their future and hoping that i have money to take them ,and hope they have extra home income and have someone to watch or my sister,or brother..

Sure.I can't even think of myself without my parents.I have been indebted to them for what I am today and what I have now.It is they who have prepared me for my life.They have equipped me to face all ups and downs of life.How can I forget or live without them.Whatever I do for them is nothing compared to the sacrifices they have for me.I will dedicate myself fully to satisfy them.

I will NEVER bring my parents to those facilities. No matter how hard it is to take care of them when they always forgetful, always angry, we should never get tired of looking after them. Just put your feet in their shoes when you were young. They took care of us, feed us during those waking hours, changed our diapers while we're crying in the middle of the night and everything our parents did for us. Same thing that you guys feel, I don't want my children to bring me to those facilities. I want my parents' dying day to be at our side. I will make them feel loved up to their last days here on earth.

As long as I can care for them, I will. If I did have to put them in a nursing home, I would be there quite often to see them, and make sure they are being treated right.

Well whoever doesn't think of his/her parents when they get old then there is something wrong with the raise the parents did. I can't think of not helping my parents whenever they need since the family is the main reason we are able to have an easy childhood, being able to go to school, studying or even having some hobbies and afterwards but the main thing is helping us being good as adults now ;)

Yes. I will take care of my mom even if she's already old. It's not just because I want my children to do it to me when I get old as well but for them to know what really LOVE is. I love my mom even if she's not perfect and as long as she lives I will support her in every way I can. I'm not what I am right now if it wasn't for her love and care when I was growing up.

Actually, it is an expectation from my part. I was the younger child and in my culture, the youngest child always takes care of the parents. You ca assume that most youngest child often lives near or in the house of the parents. Frankly, I don't really mind the expectation. I am not really entertaining any notions of marriage (not just yet) and I am already passing the torch and responsibility to my sibling to continue the family line. I don't know but in our family, it's somewhat sacrilege to to send your elderly at a institution or hone. besides, our elderly are always reminiscing about the old times and it's interesting the contrast of their lifestyle to the current one.

I will and that's a promise.Who will take care of my parents other than me and my siblings. How can we tell our kids to be a good child if we cannot tell ourselves to be one. We must be a model to our kids always.

I think no civilized person can ignore parents at their life period of old and grey. Only persons with animal's memory can give no care to parents, especially at such a period.The same condition is waiting to all in a period of life. So it is good to all to nourish a civilization giving love and consideration to aged ones in the most suffering period of life of any living being.

My parents are just now starting to get to that point in life where they need alot of help. Their health is getting really bad my dad is in and out of the doctors office every other day. He dont want anyone to worry about him so he does not tell anyone what is really going on or even ask for help. My dad is also right now taking care of my grandmother. He stays with her monday, tueday and wednesday nights. My sister stays with her on sunday and thursday nights. And then my aunt stays with her on friday and saturday nights. I am unalbe to stay the night with her because of my children and other reasons that i dont want to get into right now. My sister is always over there monday through friday during the day to help her with things and to go to the store and also just because she thinks that she cant stay alone at all. I am also unable to help my sister out there because i work all the time. I never even have time to think about my self much less about my other family members. I now for sure that when the time comes for me to have to do that for my parents i will figure something out and make it happen to take care of them. Its just like you said if it was not for them i wouldnt be where i am today if it wasnt for them. I have learned everything that i now from the both of them. I love my parents with all my heart and i wouldnt give anything in the world to have it any other way. I mean yeah i always hated getting into trouble for things that i did but i understnad now why they did all of those things i am a better person today because they care enough about me to do that.I also do not believe in resthomes of any kind. I do how ever think that it is a good thing to get out of the house and do things. We have a center here in my community that older people is able to go and they can do all kind of different things like crafts and work out and just different things and when they go they can stay all day long. So it really works out for some people because they can take their parents and then they are able to go and do things that they need to get done and not have to worry about leaving their parents alone. Do you have anything like that in your country? If your not sure you should check into that and see if they do that way you already now and when you need it in the future. I hope this helps you out and hope that your country does so that when the time comes for you to take care of your parents you are able to get the help that you need.

My parents are in their mid 70's and never did I think that they would need my help so early... they are both struggling right now. My mom has Lupus and my dad had knee surgery and is having a hard time getting back on his feet. Over the past several months, I have been running erands for them a couple times per week... Getting their mail, grocery shopping, getting their meds and bringing them to their doctor appts. Both of them are using walkers and I hope they can get their health back and start enjoying life again... I can tell it in their voices that they don't want to be a burden on me, but I am there to help them.

Yep, we definitely owe a lot to our parents. My father had already passed away, so my mother is the only one left who's taking care of us. I really don't want to make her work since she's old, but she's a very hardworking woman. She does everything for the family, thinks fast if we're caught in a tight spot, and keeps everything organized no matter how tired she is. I really love her.

surely yes. I dont know why some people send their parents to old age home.. I love my parents a lot and I just cant even think of sending them to old age home. And I feel that majority will take care of parents and love parents.And specially in my religion and culture parents are More Than God.. And for me my parents is everything for me.. Even if I am not able to satisfy my needs, I will do my level best to make them happy.

Of course, who else should take care our own parents who raise us but ourselves. They didn't leave us behind when we were young and stupid so there's no reason for us to leave them behind because their ages.

Of course I would. I owe everything to my parents. Sending them off to a nursing home would be a very last resort. I would rather hire someone to take care of them at home than to send them off somewhere.

Ya,I will look after my parents when they are old and grey.They are just living now for us and so in the future we must live for them!!

yes,,i will take good care of them.I agree with you,that they are the who one care for us, in how many years,especially our mothers,when we are still in the womb.We give them respect and care in return because they deserve to be respect.
