Wonderful daughter, God bless this beautiful soul. Age brings with it disability and our children are supposed to help us but my daughter is too wrapped up in her own world to be bothered and my son does drop by occasionally. In the meantime, we struggle on but as the weeks turn into months, I feel the struggle getting harder. There is no help out there for elderly folk.

My mother and father had four children. Two moved away, and my younger brother and I, the oldest, stayed. Everyone was ready to come visit when they were doing well, eat, borrow money, they were there all the time. But as soon as they got ill, the visits became less and less. My mother got dementia and had to be put into a nursing home. Very soon after my father became ill, I had to sell his house and he moved in with me. I cared for him for five years until he passed. My mother is still alive and I still care for her and bring her home twice a week just like I did while my dad was alive. I love my brothers and my sister, and they come and visit on occasion. My sister comes and helps out for a week here in there and it does help. But what they seem to think is that because I receive the proceeds from the house, I should never ask them to do anything. They act like they’re doing me a favor when they do anything at all. They were their parents also. I only have one child, and I know that in for me, I do not ever want to do this to my child. I do not want him to spend his last year’s taking care of me like I had to.

This is how it should be .children should look after their parents when they are old .

I brought my mother into my home, with my family and was her care giver for 3 years. I had little help but I have no complaints. I had to cook for my family anyway so one more to feed wasn't a big deal. You don't have to cook everything from scratch. My mom could eat, chew whatever food we had. Now, I am disabled with mobility,, balance problems and was suddenly living alone and in mourning. My son came and he cuts my grass, etc but I still have to fix meals, do my laundry and care for myself. I try to clean but vacuuming, mopping, scrubbing bath tubs and some of the dusting is impossible for me.

I would gladly do this for my mother, if only she were alive! A little thoughtfulness goes a long way! In God's love!

Eileen you have a beautiful daughter may God bless her richly xox 😘

Loneliness is everywhere in the world. It's even more terrible when there is no one.

She's one fine-looking lady...still sharp and very nice-looking. Must have been a beauty in her youth. From a 75 year-old guy,

I used to live in Ireland and I like the way the people over there stick together more and care more for older people I've come back to live in England to care for my mom she's 88 god bless all carer's it's a hard job Paul p Birmingham England xx lol ❤☺✔

Mother takes care us when we’re baby and we take care mom when she’s older. Very much natural thing but not easy... I love you mom

May God always Bless your daughter, her husband and family 🥰😘😍, such beautiful souls...

In three years, a lot can change.

Mary you are a wonderful daughter God bless you 🙏🙏🙏❤❤❤

Praises The Lord, 4 a good daugther!! glad she can walk now and then.

So so sad We all need to show love to people And spend time with them Talk to them They have so many stories and wisdom

Beautiful lady Eileen sweet heart

I love the elderly...id like to do more .......i cared for my mum..for years,gave up my life to do so,it was a conscious decision i wanted to do my best for her ,i knew I would one day be alone,with no family...its a new beginnings..

You know what's you "rich" ? Take care of your parents. Bless you 😇

Hugs a lot 💖

I expect your Mum has passed on now. I hope you are alright. You did a wonderful thing.

Beautiful daughter.♥️

Love you Eileen ♥️

Hey!!! As soon as my two sons realized that I was getting old, what did they do? They wrote me off.

Wonderful and lucky daughter to be able to take care of her mother. Unfortunately in our Indian society most married women can't look after their own parents. However it's supposed to be their duty to take care of their husband's parents.

Sad 😞

🙏😍

We become a burden. on our children

The subtitle don't make a lot of sense. Maybe a foreign person is putting it together.

We live to long old age is a curse❤

When can Euthanasia be approved universally.? ... let us live in dignity ! & not be a burden to others around us.😙😄😮
