Its ironic. How we all grow up being cared by our parents. But its a fact that some people just doesn't want to take responsibility by caring for their older parents.
Yes, everyone is now busy with their own lives. Busy with their work, busy with their own family building, a beautiful wife, making money and being famous. But there is this one advertisement I watched, or rather heard from the original story. The story about these parents who feels disgusted about their own parents in front of their kid. When their parents who are old often break porcelain bowls, they would just ask them to use a plastic one instead and not sit on a table with them. Then the next day, the child would make bowls out of coconut shells. When asked by their parents, the child said that "when papa and mama grow old in the future, this is the bowl you all will be using"
It is a touching story, because one day, no matter how much we love our parents, there are many things that would make us neglect our parents.
It is not wrong with spending money for nursing home for them? Yeah we can busy all we want but try spending time with them, perhaps even join in the fun at those homes. They enjoy the company of others and they can even relate their experiences with each other. At the very least, they can have experts caring for them.
Think of parents just like how you would want your children to think of you.
