Where to draw a line???

the point i am trying to make, deeba is if you are ok with sending parents to old home on their own retirement money, then you should be ready to accept it as your future as well - it might be very easy to say ok fine today, but when you get old life and living is a hell of different

Nomi mentioned a good example, basic instinct says if i am treated like that, i would treat em the same way …

I’ve NEVER said I’d send my parents to a retirement home.. I said if they are ok to work and are fit and healthy and need money they should.. If they aren’t they are welcome to come and live with us.. Like I said before I can’t see why it’s so black + white for some ppl?

And as religion has been brought into it.. You have just as much of an obligation to your wife and family as your own parents in terms of financial support.. and the joint family is not encouraged unless there’s a real need (but that’s a whole different thread)..
