Ladies, especially if you have no brothers or you know your brothers are unreliable twits, what are your plans for your parents and supporting them in their old age? Do you have a concrete plan for example, God forbid, if they get sick and hospitalized (as in who will pay the bills, pay for meds, etc?)
Re: Girls: Your parents
Since I have no brothers, and He has one younger one, I have made it clear to him that we need to stay as close as possible to my parents, while we live outside of PK. But our long-term goal is to get my parents to move back to PK because we both want to build our house there and his parents also live there. It makes life a lot easier because he is willing to put in 100% for my parents and Im willing to put in 100% for his.
Re: Girls: Your parents
I have brothers but I plan on transferring a certain amount of money either to their account directly, or set up an account for them, in which I transfer money for them. This money can be used for travelling expenses or any unexpected ones - or even spending money.
It is not just my brothers' responsibility to take care of them, just because they were born guys.
I am just not sure when I will be able to do that. I will have many, many expenses of my own for at least the next decade. Lots and lots of student debt to pay off.
Re: Girls: Your parents
I have brothers also, while they are twits at times I think they would be able to take care of my parents just fine...however if a time ever arrives where my parents are in such a situation I would definitely be ready to do whatever I would have to make sure they are comfortable,
I have no concrete plan as of now but would be willing to foot any bill for them.....I mean that's at least what I can do for them making me what I am today
Re: Girls: Your parents
haha, my parents look after themselves knowing full well my brother is an unreliable twit. :)
Re: Girls: Your parents
No brothers ...
I will assume full (financial and otherwise) responsibility for my parents in next 2-3 years. My SO is completely aware of the nitty gritty and on board.
If I die, My younger sister will take over.
No brothers and i havent really trhought on it. its just accepted that my parents will never be tossed into a home inshallah and me and my sisters will look after them inshallah.
Re: Girls: Your parents
I have brothers inshAllah they will care for mum and dad, but if God forbid they don't i would definately bring them home and care for them without a blink. The amount they have done for me I could never ever repay even it took me ten lifetimes, but i can do my best in caring for them, making them happy and comfortable inshAllah, may Allah give them long healthy lives and eternal bliss, ameen.
Re: Girls: Your parents
NO brother(s)
If something happens to my parents me and my sisters will Inshallah look after my parents. We are not going to send them in a home. Besides, I always tell them to save and they have invested money in real estate.
Re: Girls: Your parents
No brothers either. My parents are saving for their futur, but nonetheless, I will help them out if they need it. And if they want to live with me at some point, they can.
Re: Girls: Your parents
No brothers !
Yes if Allah gives me life then I plan to take care of my parents. That was one of the reason I opted to work so that in future whenever I need money for my parents I don't end up asking for it from anyone.
Re: Girls: Your parents
I have 3 brothers but i would love to take care of my parents. I am planning to take them with me after shaddi :D
Re: Girls: Your parents
would also be nice to know what your parents have going in terms of caring for your grandparents.
Re: Girls: Your parents
I would keep them with me! They have taken care of me all there life....why can't I do the same for them when they need it most!
Re: Girls: Your parents
No brothers :)
handling my nani is a task in itself, I will be better prepared to handle my parents if something not good happens to them, Insha-Allah,I will be there. They have saved up some, and my savings also can be used for them. :)
