will i regret not spending time with my parents after they are dead?

Answer 1

YES!!!!! My father was always working then got sick when I was in 9th grade &could barely get around after that. Also he was never the same. I had to get a job in the afternoons & when I got home he was asleep. I then went to college & hardly ever went home. Then one month before I got married... he died. I had lost him forever!! Now, 5 years later have a son named after him and wish everyday that I had spent more time with him. I get to listen to older family members talk of him & I hardly have memories. I dream of him almost weekly. If you have a living parent, see them, talk to them, when ever you can & tell them often that you love them!

Answer 2

Oh yes you will.

You'll never want to miss the opportunity to be with them in their golden years. This is the best time to be with them. They are at the point where they can enjoy the time they have with you, now that they are settled and don't have to work to support you and your siblings (if you have any) and use this time to ask the kind of questions you've wanted to ask them, since they are not distracted-like I said.

Most people, when they get older, don't make or create the time to spend with their parents when they get older and wind up warehousing them in nursing homes (after they forgot who laboriously raised them, enduring the hell and responsibility that goes along raising children).

And while they're sitting in nursing home getting abused by the nurses (because the nurses were mistreated by their parents and this is kinky revenge for them), wondering when they are going to see their children, and why are they living amongst strangers when they can live on their own or to be with their children (when they are disabled).

Pretty f*cked up huh?

Your parents made every effort to raise you to be a good person, right? Do you know what they went through? You have no idea till you have children.

They are due all the love and attention they need till they "go off to kiss the face of God".

Don't be like other folks who shove off their parents and say; "Thanks guys. It was fun!"

They didn't stop loving you, so don't do that to them.

If u don't know the answer to that, than u'r probably not very close with your folks. I know my dad and i saw each other maybe once in 10 years. He's been dead for 6 years now, and the only thing i regret is that i went to his funeral. Even in death he screwed me one more time. Gave everything to my sisters, and nothing to me. Now i haven't seen either of them since the funeral. so **** em!

Answer 4

It's your choice. Live day by day and don't worry so much. Spend time with your parents and enjoy them while they are alive because when they are gone,yes, you may regret it, but don't dwell on it. Be lucky that they are still alive now and enjoy it.

Answer 5

Why on earth would you want to spend time with your parents after they are dead????? Take the time NOW ------ Whilst they are still alive!

Answer 6

if you spend your time with me after they're dead, you won't regret not spending time with them. Promise.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

you shure will regret i just lost my father and i did'nt spend time with him and after that happends than you start to think why this, why that.
better if you spend time with them now cause after you will not have the chance

Answer 9

If you are human you will. I had a crappy relationship with my dad and he died 27 years ago and we never has a chance to correct it. I am left with some guilty feelings and some ugly feelings toward him too.Spend more time with them, maybe it will not make you feel better but it will for your parents.

Answer 10

Of course you will. Try calling them more often,seeing them a little more,send them cards for nothing except to say you love & miss them. Sorry,but I know my Grandpa won't be here much longer and I DREAD that day! Just a suggestion.
