It is said that raising children to prevent old age, but the strange thing is that some elderly people are sick and can't take care of themselves, but they are sent to nursing homes by young people. I can't understand this, our parents have worked hard to raise us, we are old, we are sick, shouldn't we take care of our children personally?
Uncle Zhao, an 80-year-old neighbor who accidentally fell into bed after Alzheimer's disease, has two sons and three daughters. The children's lives are good. The eldest son is a public institution, the younger son runs a company, the two daughters are financers, and the first daughter runs a factory. With his family's article, he can ask a nanny to take care of him, and the children can come back to talk and chat with him, and relieve the boredom of the elderly, which is also a way of filial piety.
But what I never expected was that when Uncle Zhao came back from the hospital for a week, their family actually sent his old father to a nursing home. Uncle Zhao has to be fed by someone when he eats, and he can't take care of his own urine and urine, can he take care of his life in a nursing home? It's not a long-term illness, he has been in the hospital for half a month, and when he goes home for a week, his children can't stand it.
Uncle Zhao also has a pension of 2,800 yuan per month, and if you add some money, you can hire a nanny to serve, and the old man's mood is better, maybe it will be better soon. Even if you don't get better, you can live comfortably in the last days. After Uncle Zhao was sent to a nursing home, he heard that he refused to eat when he was sober, occasionally drank some water, and made trouble when he was confused. In less than a month, the person was gone. The aftermath was done in a beautiful and lively manner, and many old people who knew him were crying with cold hearts.
Sending parents to a nursing home may reduce the burden of caring for their children, but is this the best choice? Uncle Zhao used to be a good-looking person, and if he could be decent and take care of himself, he wanted more than his children. Illness is also beyond his control, and no matter how professional the nursing home care is, it can't compare to the care and companionship of his children.
Think about how our parents took care of us when we were young, but I don't know how to remember when we were children, we are parents, and the hard work of taking care of children is also deeply understood. In order for our children not to cry or make trouble, and to grow up healthily, how many nights have we stayed up at night, holding them in the palm of our hands for fear of falling, and holding them in our mouths for fear of melting. When we were children, we were also cherished and nurtured by our parents. When parents need us to take care of them, how can we bear to leave them to others.
Maybe there are many children who are very busy with work and have a lot of pressure in life, and they don't have the time and energy to take care of their parents, but Uncle Zhao's family has five children, and there is no pressure to take care of them. Taking turns to take care of each person, one day plus the weekend, a week passes, and when needed, it is excusable to ask for leave, and no matter how busy the work is, it is not an excuse for the children to evade their responsibilities.
If the children hire a nanny for Uncle Zhao, and the children go to see after work, talk with him, feed his father, cut a fruit, and wipe his body, the old man feels relieved and happy, maybe he hasn't gone so fast.
In short, Uncle Zhao's matter, his children's practices make me chill, and I am also worried about what I will do if this happens in the future?
What I want to say is that the parenting grace of the children will never be repaid for a lifetime. When they are us, we should not hesitate to take on the responsibility of personal care, so that parents can feel loved in the old age, their hearts are warm, and they have no regrets and peace when they leave. Set an example for your own children as well.
I hope that all children can be filial piety before bed, and I hope that all parents will be happy and cared for in their old years!
