Hopefully your kids are fully grown by the time your parents are old and incapacitated or else you won't have the time to care for your parents. It gets overwhelming very quickly. Having a private nurse/caregiver come to their home a few times a week costs about $3000-5000 per month.
How will you feel when they put you in a home, visit you twice a year, all while waiting for you to die so they can collect inheritance?Not being negative but this will be 95% of your futures if you become unable to look after yourself before death.Seeing it now all around me from kids who always said their parents would never go in a home, ill look after them, blah blah blah.When reality hits that they have to give up drinking with buddies, vacations etc it doesnt happen.
The cost for my grandmother's retirment care center was near $90,000 per year. The only way to pay for this was selling her home and bleeding her accounts.
if you shop in aldi you have failed in lifemaybe get a job where you can afford to buy decent shit
Nothing wrong with Aldi in US. Good quality, great prices.
Without a doubt, you echo the feelings of many living in the U.S. -Not so much in the rest of the world when taking care of one's parents is expected and provided. You say you love your dad, which is good. If you knew that he was living in a situation where he was suffering abuse or one that was making daily life for him unbearable, would you still believe caring for him a waste of your time?BTW, someone who is alive is still living their life, no matter how deplorable it becomes.
If you are living in poverty and cant afford a care giver and your dad is also poor ( not sure why you both would be such losers ) but in a case like that I would take care of him but I can afford a care giver so I would let them do their job while I live my life and I would visit from time to time.
Not sure if OP is serious, but here is my serious answer:you don't have children for yourself unless you're a complete fool, you have children because - as an egoistic prick, you think you have some valuable knowledge/values/principles/beliefs you want to pass down to humanity and/or - you want to give love to someone without even thinking about being paid back and/or - you want to better understand yourself, as a human being, and to better understand your parents. Your kids are not your property, neither are they an investment, nor are they here to take care of you. See it as some philosophical trip with its part of laughs and a ton of stress. Like any other philosophical trip of some sort.wow I wrote some pretty dense shit right there, here some boobies:
It's even more beta behaviour if you stay involved and look after your kids.
Like your mom, my wife was very independent. After a very long illness, she died at home surrounded by her loving family.
That is how a good child would do it.
land, own land
You speak from experience bro? Serious question.
your genetics live on in your childrenchildless people have failed to pass on their dnaits the ultimate in beta behaviourin the wild only the weak and retarded dont get to matesame for humans
I would not do this I love my dad but he already lived his life and I am not going to waste my life being a caregiver to him I need to live my life, that is what nurses are for.
Thanks. She saw me into this world and gave me an incredible childhood.Seeing that she spent her last days in peace and comfort was the least I could do.
Implying I'll live to see 60, gonna juice and lift till my heart explodes in the squat rack
