Certain old people, due to various ailments become demanding and this cannot be coped by other house hold members due the challenges they face in life such as in work, finances, obligations and time. This flares into anger and rise in temper. In other countries, the old aged have institutions they can move and live respectably until the end of their life. This leaves the younger generation to concentrate towards their challenging life and future instead of old aged parents. Gone are the days where parents can be looked after by their Children as life itself is very demanding for those children. Fifty years ago, it was duty of children to look after parents because at that time everything from cost of living to time to job performance was not challenging. Relatives visited homes unannounced and were profusely welcome, unlike now.

A good lesson for aging parents. Don’t give away all your possessions to your children. Look after them, educate them. Those who do not receive a pension should plan for alternative investments to at least pay for a home for the aged.

It’s better to remember, one day we will also be crossing this said ‘old age’. If we do not take care of our elderly; what would be our plight at that time? Show the youngsters that we should respect and take care of elderly. The current generation is lack of empathy and sympathy; this is root cause of all the evils.
