Comment on How do I tame my frustration toward my aging parents?
maporita@unilem.org 9 months agoMy wife was horrified to learn that we put our parents in a home when they get old. She’s from Colombia and such a thing would be unthinkable.
Having said that I would never want my children to look after me. It’s not fair on them… they have their own lives to lead.
