Would you have older family members live with you so that you could take care of them?

The care of my 93 year old father was one of the main reasons it took me so long to say yes, to the man I love and transfer myself and my belongings to Egypt.
I had made a unspoken promise to my Mother that I would care for Dad and it was only a few months after her death that I met my Egyptian man.
That was over 5 years ago I had when I had just started back at University. But changing my studies to on line for my degree was never really an issue, it was my love and responsibility to my father that kept me in Australia until only a few months ago.
Dad was the type who would never accepted help from strangers. It was hard enough to get him to let me do things for him. In the end I had to even give him his insulin for type 2 diabetes, which had left him with no feeling in his hands or feet.
He was a very independent and proud man who could never have adjusted to life in a nursing home.
So for five years I was caught between my love for him and my love for my fiance.
It is strange that as we spend more time together and learn to adjust to each others ways I realize that the love of my life is actually very like my sweet old Dad in so many ways.

I would take care of them no matter what connection. I would do as much as i could for them. i like caring for people but at one stage in my life they will have helped me so i would feel it is only right to treat them well and help them.
I actually looked after my grandmother who was ill rather than really old but i looked after her at the start of my teenage years and it was really hard and would i do it again? yes i would like a shot i think family should come first.

in keeping with their citizenship and what u . s . a . they're from you will ought to get them a visa and be in finished help of their visa as a family individuals member. This visa should not be issued for extra beneficial than 2 years and you ought to sponsor them. you would be required to offer economic assistance, job assistance alongside with pay slips for the previous 3 months, and then the visa will value some thousand fifty money.

of course! If I don't take care of a family member when they need me, then what am I good for?
there is a proverb that says "elli maloosh kheer fe ahlo maloosh kheer fe had"
In English- if ur no good to ur family ur no good to anyone

Without a doubt. My parents&older brothers look out for me all the time it would be the least i could do for them.My grandparents&great grandparents would also be on my list.
We all have unconditional love for each other.

Of course, without a second thought. Who else will do it then?! It is an act of kindness which we all may need some day ... who knows? And in addition, it is great thawab ISA.
