Re: your parents in old people homes??
I think RF you are pre-maturely judging matters from a different perspective. People who were in the same situation are aware that sometimes there is simply no choice but to take measures which could be against the theory of ideal life. Imagine if you are in a situation where your mortgage, car insurance, car lease, utilities, grocery and other necessary expenses can only be managed by the income of two, you can not advise one to leave his or her job and stick to their principle, which would be mundane. Everyone’s situation is different, some can afford and lucky enough to be with or to have their parents till their natural demise while some unfortunate just can’t. That’s how the story goes my friend…
