i love my grandparents i will never send them to home for the agent

Well my grandparents are passed away.. but i would never do that if i had to take care of them i wouldve.. But now my mom is almost 70 and she always tells me that if she can't take care of her self that she doesn't want to be a burden to me..and that she would go into a home. I am an only child so i would be the one to take care of her.. I told her heck no.. i would take care of her she is not going anywhere..

Will you send your parents to home for the old when they are old ? Why cant you explain your parents to retain your G.Parents at Home? Seriously tell them that if they do so, you also will follow them by sending them to agent/poor house

I already don't have grand parents. I feel the same too to my granie, if you can take it then serve them. They are your parents, but if you are busy enough, then send them to your relatives that do not have jobs and supply them the needs. But if no one is available , send them to institution.

I can understand how you feel. I was raised the same way to look after our elders when they need us. But sometimes they need more care than we can give them. My grandmother was really sick but we did not put her in a home. we just cared for her until the good Lord took her home with him. My uncles wife was taking care of her father at her house. He had dimentia and alheimers. she kept him there until she couldnt take care of him anymore. She had three young children to take care of, a wife to my uncle and he was a danger to himself. he would sneak off and leave the house, try to cook on the stove and it became unsafe for himself. She made the sad choice of entering him into a home where he could get 24hr care from professionals and it was a good decision on her part. everyone has their reason on why or why they shouldnt. sometimes they dont want to send them away but sometimes its better for the aged to do so.+

I agree with you. Its too cruel to send your parents or grandparents at old hostels while they need you alot. Those people in my book are not humen. They torture their elders because living alone at old ages is too terrible. Thank God, in my country, when someone gets old , his respect increases and his saying is given preference. We repsect our elders like kings and queens.

my grandparents on my father and mother's side are now both in God's hand. But if they were still alive i would never ever do that to them. They deserve to be taken care by their family.

We should take good care of our elders. Afterall they take good care of us when we are young. I admire your love for your grandparents. May everybody find the heart to do the same.

OK good thought.

i love my grandparents too. i will never let them go into home for the aged. they have suffered too much and being away from their family will only add loneliness to their old hearts.
