What are your plans when you grow older...?

Question

Do you think people who are kids at the moment have time to take care of older people in another 20 years of time?

Are you going to stay in a nursing home...?

Answer 1

stay in a nursing home

Answer 2

I might move to a retirement village or something like that, even though I have no intention of retiring.

Answer 3

My plans are if i get to old to take care of myself then I will stay in a nursing home. or just run away I will NOT be a burden to my daughter or anyone.

And my daughter and other children today will be too busy to help anyone. and in 20 time we may not even have a planet left you never know. God Bless

Answer 4

im currently 18, and i live in sydney australia, so i can kinda relate to this topic.

to be honest, my generation of kids/teenagers these days, most likely wouldnt do things like that.

i guess that every teenager you associate with, their associated with some sort of scene/culture/nationality etc.

each of us are passionate about one thing or another in a way, and what their interested in now may or may not 20 years down the track still be interested in.

depends on the teenager really..

but thats just my opinion.

Answer 5

nop,when the party stops - I will die...

On more serious note - I am planning from now(I am 30 years old) not to have my son obligated with my life.I think every good parent will plan for that.

Answer 6

I'm already older about to gratuate as a psychologist at then end of the month. As far as nursing home probably because I'll have no kids. Oh well.

Answer 7

My family and I personally don't believe the children should be carers. They should live their own life, shouldn't be burdened with looking after an old person and wiping their bum.

I personally if I became unable to look after mysaelf I'd ha ve a load of pills and alcohol.

Answer 8

to be thrivin n kickin w/ the best of them!

Answer 9

i suggest a nusiing home but then again i hear theyre horrable...

Answer 10

Nursing homes are death's waiting room so I intend to stay mentally and physically healthy for as long as I can.

Answer 11

It will always be the same...the kids who grow up and WANT to and CAN.....WILL take care of their parents somehow and someway.  I want to be taken care of in my own home by a nurse or caregiver.....I don't want to be a burden to my kids or grandkids.  I don't like nursing homes that are the ones I will be able to afford....ugh...NICE nursing homes are too expensive and a rip off. Sad but true.
