Will you take care of your parents when they are old?






The old grandma in the picture above is 93 years old. Her husband died when he was about 50 years old. She has been bring up 2 sons and 3 daughters. But since 30 years ago, neither of her sons has taken care of her. Now she is living in a dangerous broken house. Her daughters have been looking her after these years. But her sons don't allow them to bring their mother to their home. " They just want me to die!" She said in tears.

I am sorry to hear this piece of news. I am very angry!

xia_chong(金币+5, ESEPI+1):Wow, you are a good son/daughter. That's very nice! I don't have any choice. Maybe I could go back to my city after acquring my PhD degree. 2010-09-10 13:15:54
That report  is an extreme example. Contrary to this, all of friends coming here give the positive answers that we will take care of our  parents when they are very old. Then a problem bursts into my mind how to take care of our parents in the future. On the one hand, we do not intend to come back to our remote village after I get my PhD degree. But on the other hand, we are predestinated to be not wealthy in the following years. This means that we can not afford a house which is the basic requirement to live in the big and morden metropolis. In this condition, we can not live in the same place with our parents. This geographic distance will be a big barrier when our parents want us to take a cup of warm water. They need a long-term care when they are very old. Our occasional staying for several days is not useful. So from now on I decide to change my original idear and then find a job in a small city in the future. In small city, both the living price and house price are considerably low compared with big city.  There I will buy a house and let my parents live with me. I can talk with them every day and make them happy.

When heard of this news, I was not only having mercy on this elderly person, but also looked down her two sons, who was brought up by this pathetic old mother, but they didn't assume their obligations as a son to take care of their mother. Now the two sons must have their families, her wife and their children. I just want to ask them, when you are old, your children treat you just as you do to your mother, what can you do and how grieveful you wiil be! Every one wiil become old, respect the old just be equal to respect yourself!
   In my opinion, this bad phenomenon seldom happened, To solve a this problem, we must do some something as the following thing. First and most important, breeding the old is always the chilren's responsibility. Parents devoted all they have to make sure their children a happy lives. Therefor, when they are old and can't look after themselves, their children are bound to help them. Second, there are many needy places, where they are too poor to feed their old parents. At this time, on one hand the government must take precautions to advance the local economy, on the other hand, the government can also provide some help to those impoverished families. Finally legislation must be made to protect the rights of the old. If the children want to desert their parents, they must be punished.
If we can enforce the above suggestions, the old can definitely  have a nice and peaciful old age!!!
