I do the same but any site has its own word countere

@Christi You are right. It is pathetic to see old folks so helpless and penniless. It is all their fault. |
|
@Lee Ka There is also the issue about clash of ideas on how to bring up kids. |
|
Lee Ka. Grandparents could be around but not take on the responsibility |
|
@Lee ka Grandparents want to stay in the loop so that they are of some use to the family. They are worried they will be rendered useless if they do not contribute. I see this happening here all over. |
|
@peachpurple Hope you will put to practice the suggestions you have made here. All the best. |
|
@Lee Ka Wish many seniors did that. They will empty their coffers for their kids and the kids will throw their hands up. |
|
@Lee Ka I saw your comment under mention but I do not see it here. There is no provision to reply there. I am a bit confused about this site when favourite instead of reply is mentioned. Anyway I will write a post using both image options and see how it pans out. |

Planning should start at an early age. |
|
Very well said.
It is not just financial dependence but when seniors depend on their children then the children’s thinking becomes law. The seniors become vulnerable and mess up their life totally. |
|
There is a tab ‘insert image’ on top which I use for inserting images in between posts and it works. Here is one of my posts – you can see it there http://172.104.9.193/the-sun-and-me/ I keep size to 512×384. I have not tried the featured image. I shall do so one of these days. That would perhaps go with the title.

As I have already commented children are so placed – many a time in a different country – it is not possible for them to give the kind of attention seniors need. Good nursing homes could be the answer as there they get all the care. |
|
Joint family system is a thing of the past when elders ruled the roost. |
|
I have posted more than one inside the post. And my posts have been approved. |

Children have their own load to keep their house and hearth going. But seniors do not understand it leading to resentment from both sides. It is not true that children do not love their parents but they are helpless in giving the kind of attention their parents expect them. Partly parents themselves are responsible in that they encourage their children to leave the shores seeking greener pastures. |
