^Nice post, but, lets stick to the question.

There are many cases where it happens. I have seen real life examples. There is a Pakistani couple, both work, husband a top level professional, wife a mid level. Father of the man developed severe hip and knee problem, became wheel chair bound. Son wanted to keep his father home, wife did not co-operate. He asked her to take a leave from job, she said, she cannot leave her career for his father. Eventually the father was sent to old home, where he died after two years, though the poor old man desperately wanted to live at home. Irony both husband and wife are very religious otherwise.

The above is just so so sad ! It was not right for husband to ask wife to take a leave from job. Because he should have been the one to take it. I don’t think they both were very willing to take care of him. One of my co-worker’s dad is bed ridden for past many years. Except for him all other family members work and they have hired a care taker for him. In many other cases too I have seen people hiring nurse or care takers to take care of sick and elderly when no one in family can do it.

Sending your parent to old home is just so sad. Shame on them.
