^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.

That’s where he went wrong. Our religion tells US to take care of OUR OWN parents at old age. If his father was a priority to him, he should havedone it himself and taken a leave and worked something out. I know many people who use vacation, FMLA to do that.
