MUM/DAD YOUR GOING TO AN OLD PEOPLE'S HOME


I RECENTLY VISITED A FEW OLD PEOPLE'S HOME IN LONDON AND NURSING HOMES AND WAS VERY SURPRISED TO SEE SO MANY ASIAN MEN AND WOMEN IN THERE,,,,,,,,,,, I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS OUR DUTY TO LOOK AFTER OUR PARENTS UNLESS EXTREME CIRCUMSTANCES OCCURED,,,,,,,, WOULD YOU LET YOUR PARENTS LIVE AND DIE IN A HOME?????

if it cant be settled the girl would be gone just like that, sacrifices sometimes have to be made on our part, parents have done far too much...its now there time to chill and lean on us...

I HAVE COME ACROSS SO MANY PEOPLE WHO DON'T APPRECIATE NOR RESPECT THEY ELDERS,,,BUT AS ITS ALWAYS HAPPENS,,, WHAT GOES ROUND, COMES ROUND!!!,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I FIND SOMETIMES PARENTS ARE ALSO TO BE BLAMED FOR THE WAY THEY BROUGHT THEY CHILDREN UP AND WHEN THESE SAME CHILDREN DON'T WANT TO KNOW, THEN YOU CAN'T BLAME THEM!!
IN OUR RELIGION AND OUR CULTURE WE ARE TAUGHT AND FORCED TO LOOK AFTER AND RESPECT OUR PARENTS, AS WE ARE TOLD YOUR MOTHER'S FEET HOLDS THE DOORS FOR YOU TO ENTER HEAVEN,,,,,, YOU DAD HOLDS THE KEY TO SUCCESS,,,,,, MAJORITY OF US COME FROM BIG EXTENDED FAMILIES WHERE WE ALL VISIT OR STAY WITH EACH OTHER,,, OUR COMMUNITY IS A VERY TIGHT ONE WHERE WE ALL DO STICK TOGETHER,,, BUT STILL YOU HAVE CHILDREN WHO DONT CARE AND HAVE NO COMPASSION TOWARDS ANYTHING!!

i dont think it has anything to do with respect though although there are many out there has little respect for others.

People have their own reasons for doing this and it obviously is the best option for them.

I personally couldn't do it but I guess its each to their own and people have their own reasons why they do it...
