With age, how insecure they have become. And also how miser and cheap(I mean it) they have become. It is not that they have no money. My father has worked all his life in a very senior,well placed job. He has millions in his bank account but he lies to his children at this age(61)about small things. To see that your own parents who taught you to become honest are lying to you is a big shocking thing. My mother is very less educated and just believes her husband in every matter. She sticks to the fact that her husband is her god. Has someone any experience in dealing with such parents? I have also experienced my parents ageing. With age, how insecure they have become.

".Love them, look after them, give them respect and dignity!" guess that's the mantra here. And ur right, we always remain children for them... Also the point about 'never make them feel that they cannot take care of themselves' is valid.. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Finally, some wise words….

“.Love them, look after them, give them respect and dignity!” guess that’s the mantra here.

And ur right, we always remain children for them…

Also the point about ‘never make them feel that they cannot take care of themselves’ is valid..

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

So many times I look at my parents and remember them just as when I was a young girl. They are old , in their 70s, and for them I am still their little girl. They live with me and my sister dividing their time amongst their grand children. They feel happy when they feel useful. I agree that we should take care of our old parents but never make them feel that they cannot take care of themselves.Love them, look after them, give them respect and dignity! I am greying myself and would expect the same from my girls. The concern felt by the youngsters today is heartening.

I get scared of even thinking about the eventuality. You always tend to believe that parents will always be there, people who you keep coming back to.
