I don’t know what I would do when my parents grow old, ideally i would like them to live with me and my future husband but I know that I would never ever expect my children to keep me with them. I have an ego when it comes to these sort of things and I would not want to be a burden on my own children so I personally would prefer to be put into a nursing home if the need came around.

I don’t understand this whole ‘burden’ attitude that exit in our community. It’s so depressing as your post clearly illustrates. I mean daughters are seen as ‘burden’, parents are considered ‘burden’ etc. As if blood relations and innate attachment don’t mean a thing.

If your child considers you a burden when you are at the stage when you need their support the most, there is obviously something wrong with them not you!
