Yes.....and remember one thing.......for you who have children, your children are watching how you treat your parents and their grandparents. So if you put them in a nursing home , you are showing them a diagram of what you can expect when it's your turn. Every situation has it's own story, you have to do what you have to do and live your life as well, it's a double edged sword, and it's something you never think will happen.......it's happening to me, and it's tough .....but at the end of the day........it's the right and only thing to do!!!!!

Not what I would say as hands on care by them, but I do expect them to make the decisions and arrangements for the care I do receive.

Yes and No. They should but what if they financially can't or just plain won't. The best thing is to have a plan in place where you can financially afford to take care of yourself and also afford your own nursing care if it should come to that. Traditional values are no longer in place and family takes care of family. Don't rely on the unknown, take care of yourself.

No, it is never expected.. and it is surely not required. IF it comes from their hearts to do so, and they are single and willing, hey , that would be nice, but i think if they have a family of their own, they need to take care of them.. and NOT feel like they need to help parents out.

Not financially no but I do hope they would help me physically like I did for mine. My kids were raised you take care of family because in the long run that's all you have when the end is near.

No never. Bcoz expectations should be within a limit we should not expect somthing which will hurt us in future and we wont be able to control our feelings at later stages. but without such expectations if we get caring from them it will be like a lottry for us...........

I expect to take care of my parents when they can't, so yes, I expect them to love me enough to want to take care of me. I would probably tell them no, so they can have their own life, but I couldn't do that to my parents.

It's not expected, but I would do it for my parents if I had to. I would hope that my children would love me enough to help me out if I got desperate as well.

No I certainly do not.
I raised my children and don't want to get involved with all the daily hubbub of my children raising theirs.Once around was enough.I dearly love them and my granchildren but I want to enjoy my golden yrs. in peace and quiet.
