My uncle lives with his mum and dad, my grandparents, had he not been there, both gran and grandad wouldnt be here today, so many falls, so many accidents, my gran once left the gas on the cooker without igniting it, old age does these things. my gran was sick, had no one been there, she wouldve been in that state until someone came to visit. shes only 60. not that old either. its not just that, i dont understand this concept of moving out, just because you can. its not always finances. we think just because we can afford to move, we should. if i was a boy, i would stay with my parents. Not ALL kids should stay, but one atleast should.

i guess we should also kick them into a home once theyre 50…i mean it is the AMERICAN thing to do isnt it.

the fact that our parents go through alot for us, give us their last pennies, yet as soon as we have a dollar in our pocket we think of moving.

if we stopped trying to be american/british/western/modern/etc and tried to include bit more of our own culture we may have the manners and respect our parents do.

of course the answers here are given from a cool american point of view. i take it my old style pakistani opinion is now to be shot to pieces. oh and im british.

Nursing homes are not an American phenomenon Nadz…they exist in Britain too. You should get out more, really.

As for the rest…well…judging from your posts…you are anything but old and pakistani by nature. No one is talking about kicking their children out.

We’re talking about teaching them independence. Maybe do the future generations a favor and not raise mama’s boys.
