>>99182166-racist Asian joke about driving here-
I don't blame them for wanting someone to drive them, they aren't exactly middle-aged anymore, but they aren't totally infirm yet either.
>>99182260It's a cultural thing in traditional trust-based societies that young people care for their elderly parents. You know all the grandparents in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Yea, they live in Charlie's parents' house, all of his parents' parents moved in with them in their old age. That's what people used to do.
Some people have this expectation that their children will be there for them when they're old and infirm instead of being cast into a paid """care""" facility. I get it.
Don't look up the rates of elder abuse in assisted living facilities and nursing homes, it's grossly depressing and really shows that people only have humanity for those they immediately care for (if at that). I'd never put my parents in a nursing home, even if I absolutely despised them; they don't deserve that treatment.
