Re: Growing Old in America

@kakee

I want to be in a nursing home when I’m too much but my SO said NO

I don’t think he realizes how hard it is for the kids to take care of their parents that don’t recognize them.

No offense but judging from your posts you are not pakistani and dont have pakistani roots so you wont understand. Its a cultural/religious thing

@PyariCgudia

that’s all nice and all.

except my question was more to the logistics…HOW are you gonna do it?

Look at the number of hours you work now considering it’s likely a day job. Who in the family has agreed to give up their job? Is there already someone who agreed they’re staying at home? You dropping parents off to cousins when they can’t take care of themselves, etc?

If needed I will hire a dedicated helper/nurse. Plus I would also expect my future wife to take care of my parents (while I am at work).Yes I will discuss it before we get married. Moreover I also have younger siblings.
