Needs the Benny Hill music
Hmmm. I would imagine it's much easier to take in and care for your elder family when you've got 8 children ranging in age from 2 to 22 yrs old, the boyfriends and girlfriends of the teenagers and their little babies too...the welfare Aunt, the ex-con Uncle, the neighbors kids who don't have Dads...all living together in one home. Who needs a babysitter? Grandma wouldn't be able to take a in peace in that house, let alone go unsupervised.
Most white homes have 2 kids and a dog living in it yeah? There's nobody around to keep Grandpa from eating Alpo for lunch and wandering around in the neighbors yard.
Come on, you're straight pulling stats out of your ass.![]()
lol at Americans trying to justify forcing their own blood and flesh to live their finals years detached from their family
Once they're gone they're not coming back. Maybe then you'll regret the fact that your kids didn't get to know them very well or realize that maybe some of their mishaps weren't such a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Or nevermind, based on the comments some of you assholes will probably be glad once they pass that way the money you were putting towards that cheap ass nursing home can now go towards something more important--maybe weed or six packs.
Everytime...you mother ers post something interesting here off youtube, I go on youtube tangents trying to find something similar to it. Then I get off topic and just keep clicking related videos. all of you.
You're not really arguing against anyone's points. You're basically just name calling now. You're also assuming that just because they're living somewhere else the family doesn't come visit them. The family can visit and get to know the grandparents or great grandparents just as much in a retirement home as they could if they were living in their own houses but you wouldn't think anything of it then, would you?
How often do you think the average nursing home patient gets visited? How long do you think these visits last on average?
Let's be honest here, chances are if they aren't already they'll eventually become detached. Also chances are going to the nursing home for a visit will eventually turn into a chore for the parents/kids.
My Grandma on my Dad's side spent her final years in a nursing home, and she loved it. She was honestly happier than I ever remember her while she was there. She was a talker, and there she had plenty of other people to listen to her stories. We used to take her tacos every Sunday, and I can remember us cutting our visits short because she had her domino's or card games to go join.
About as many and as long as it would be if they still lived in their own home.
That has nothing to do with the retirement home though. Those are just ty people.
Nope, you're wrong. She hated it and wanted to be in your parents day to day lives with no regard for them. You're misremembering
Yeah..I think you are right tbh. How selfish of my Father to continue to provide a roof, clothing and food for his family..we should have just sold our home and purchased a trailer, so that we could have used the remaining funds to take Grandma on daily trips bowling, Six Flags, out to nice restaurants, and to get her hair and nails done. I can't believe we wasted all those years not enjoying it with her before her death due to where she lived.
