REALLY?

So, being a full grown man, it is still up to your parents to decide the care of another incapacitated elderly?

Woah.

I live with my parents in THEIR house and have no plans of abandoning my parents to move into my home so yeah I do need their permission. Secondly I am pretty sure that if my spouse’s parents were incapacitated, my parents would never refuse.

I’m assuming you live in North America? If so, the cost is about 75-80,000 per year - can you foot that bill? And that’s not a full time nurse, that’s part time during the day assuming someone in the family is in the same house sleeping at night with the elderly to catch if there are any problems at nights - falls, wanderings, etc.

If not living in North America, typically what is the cost for help - let’s say you hire some nurse just for the day?

No I dont. I live in Pakistan, and based on my current financials (which I hope remain same or improve in future), I can afford a proper full time nurse. In Pakistan, a full time nurse wouldn’t cost more than 30k per month
