I know a old man who is 70 years old.He is my neighbour.before few days back in have seen a painful incident.
That old man was ill ,his 40 years old son was taking him to doctor on his bike.Old man asked him for taxi.But son scolded him infront of all neighbours.I wish i could slap to his son.I don’t why kids thinks that they can do any thing to thier parents because they are old.They can’t do anything now.
If parents attain old age, please do not repulse them or look at them as a burden,speak to them a gracious word, be cool with them,be obedient, be humble and kind to them. We considerate to parents.
A man’s life is normally divided into five stages namely infancy, secind is childhood,third is adolescence,and adulthood and old age. In the each of these stages an individual’s finds himself in different situations and faces different problems. Old age is viewed as unavoidable, undesirable problem ridden phase of life. Problems of aging usually appear after the age of 65 years.
At this age they need us.Because our parents give birth to us.They go through all the torture we give them at our infancy, most of time losing their sleep.
They take pains to join us in a good school, pay our school fees for so many years.
They take care of ourstay, and food, and books, extra curricular skills and other vital expenditure for the so many years.
They rush us to a doctor and give the best medical attention you are young.
They buy so many toys for us.
They keep house and our room clean so that we can sleep well at nights.
They pay for our college education and pay all our transportation hostel misc expenditure during our college education.
They spend so much money, much efforts, much time, and energy and sacrifice so many things in their life for us.
What do you give them back?
Send them out of the house, Make them live alone and Ignore them, when they are old and need little amount of help from us?
What all excuses do you give for doing that?
I am daughter.Only sons are supposed to take care of their parents.
And i am the younger son, only elder sons are supposed to take care of their parents.
And I may be the elder, but they were so close to younger son all these years.
And I am in some foreign country or I am too busy to come to India and take them to that foreign country.
And they like to be independent. They do not want us to disturb them!
Oh, they like to be in India. They do not like it here. They only come for baby sitting. They like their grand kids so much, you know
And also my husband is so much against keeping my parents in house.
And my wife is so much against keeping my parents in the house.
we all know how to control our kids so much that they do not do the same thing to us.
And most worst excuse is do you know? Our parents also ignored their parents when they were old and Why should not we follow their footsteps?
Yes Did we ask them to give birth to us? They brought us in the world, so hence it was their duty to bring us up. We do not have to show that courtesy back.
From today please say this aloud, “I want to see my parents always happy forever. Because They have cared for me ever since I was little child. They have always showered their selfless love on me..

Agree with what has been stated in the post. But the generation now thinks differently that is a sad fact. These children are greedy and materialistic. They learn some of this behavior from parents, some from peers, relatives, and society. Once they get settled in a job they want to be totally independent and be a free bird. They consider parents who would want to be with them as a mill stone around their neck and an obstacle. They feel these old good for nothing people are impeding my growth in life and are not allowing me to be free. I really do not know when I will be rid of this problems of parents. These are some of the things I have seen and heard people speaking about their parents. These kids once they grow also control their parents and would want the parents to live the life they want them to live and would want them to also nanny sit for their children whom they do not have time as they say they are busy with work.
But I have also seen a few cases though which are exactly opposite to the ones I have stated above. These kids are like the ideal kids which a parent would expect of them. They would take great pains to take care of their parents. I felt very happy to see these kids who are very few and rare. The good thing I found is even their children are behaving well like them with their grand parents which is a great thing.
Let me start by saying that our parents are not useless and they will never be useless no matter what.
The Ten Commandments of God in the Book of Exodus, says "Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you." (Exodus Chapter 20 verse 12).
Of all the Ten Commandments of God, it is only this commandment that has a blessing. The blessing of which is in the phrase "that your days may be long in the land that the Lord your God is giving you."
In short, the blessing is a long life. And this long life is possible within the context of Exodus 20:12 only by honoring our father and mother. Stated otherwise, honoring our parents which means our father and our mother.
Take note of the word "honor". The word "honor" implies respect, courtesy, and care to our parents most especially when our parents are already old, the time of which when they truly needs our love and care.
So conversely, if we will not honor our father and mother or our parents for that matter, then there will be a curse upon us. For instead of the blessings of a long life, our life may be shorten or short live by our lack of gratitude.
It has been said that no amount of kindness that we give to our parents will be enough for us to be able to repay to them the gift of life that they gave to us.
Without our parents we will not be alive today.
If we have the capacity to love and to care for strangers or to love and to care for our spouse, children, friends, acquaintances, work mates why cannot we take care of our parents during their old age?
Is it too much for us to do?
