Mr dear Friends, As per e-mail below, please remember, our children never asked us to give birth to them. We have done so of our own accord.
Our duty as parents is to love our children,till we "start pushing daisies", educate them, look after them, provide for them, hopefully, even after we pass on. Our duty to our children never ends. It is wrong of us, parents, to force our children to look after and provide for us in our old age. The problem with all parents, is that they have great expectations and hence get upset if their children do not look after them. It is definitely not the duty of our children to be forced to look after us in our "old Age". All Parents have paid taxes to the Government during their working life and hence the government should proved benefits to them, as is done in most countries abroad, e.g. Australia etc. Please remember to do your best for your children and be happy,if they don't dump you in the home for the aged. A good question to ask all parents who complain about being "neglected", by their children, is whether they(the parents) looked after their own old, parents well, or, "neglected" them too.
