^^^it's ok bro

it's a sad fact dat in the US dey giv mor importance on money dan deyr own family, so i hope we dont rily adopt it here, i mean we cud jst nver earn enuf money 2 buy d lost times we hav w our family

lisod jud na i aplply dri sa pinas coz first of all pinoys by nature r close sa family...we could still find time to spend it with our family bsag unsa pa ta ka bz..unlike sa US nga fast pace ila life didto nga wa na jud cla time to take care of their old folks...

* VERY TOUGH but very rewarding and you're being a really good example to your kids. Hopefully your kids will do the same thing for you when the time comes that you will be needing their help.

Yea it reminds me of a story though it may be farfetched but nonetheless it teaches us a great lesson. Well the story goes like:

There was a man who grew tired o taking care of his parents, so 1 nyt he wheeled them both out of the house to take them sumwer else, mayb 2 the senile homes. But as he was about to leave his boy saw him n asked wat he was going 2 do w his grannies, why was he taking him for a stroll on a snowy nyt. Of cors dad answered dat dey cud no longer take care of dem n he has to send dem away. D boy, thinking he cudnt do anything bt feel sori 4 his grannies jst said OK bt as his dad was leaving he said nonchalantly, " Hey dad, bring d wheelchairs back!" This seemed 2 hav puzzled dad so he asked,"Why wud u want the wheelchairs back son?" His son replied, "Coz, wen d tym comes wen i'll hav to send u away i cud use it d way u did ryt now!"

As for the conclusion, u may only gues wat the dad did hehe

what if we put them on the HOME FOR THE AGED? whats your opinion guys?

nope. never. i wouldn't want to be put to home for the aged myself!

another question is, can you take care them yourselves? do you still have the time to take care of them aside from your children? do you have the financial capability to take care of them? as what i have observed demanding kaayo ug time, effort and patience ang mga tiguwang especially on the later part of their life nah.
