Who will take care of the elderly in their later years?

All my life, grass meets spring. No matter who will be old, old is young and sick. Just because of poor health, I need someone to take care of me and finish the last journey.

Who is the most ideal, convenient and reliable to take care of the elderly in their later years? Let me rank them and talk about their advantages and disadvantages.

The first one is husband and wife. Husband and wife have shared weal and woe for a long time, and it is husband and wife who know best, care most and feel most distressed. Therefore, if the husband and wife are in good health in their later years, they can reduce the burden of their children's lives and rely on them to take care of each other for the rest of their lives. Although one of us will leave first. There is nothing we can do about it. The rest is up to others to help.

The second is your own child. No matter your son or daughter, they are your own flesh and blood, and no one can replace them. No nanny, no nursing home, no nursing staff, no relatives and friends, grandchildren can be their own children. I have a personal experience of this. My father is old and weak, bedridden due to illness, full of nonsense, drooling and runny nose, often running on his chest, urinating frequently, and taking pains to take care of him. Only our son was there. Some are separated from each other, or have no blood relationship, and some can't hide quickly. Danger depends on people's hearts. I finally saw it this time, because our parents can't escape, and we must do our duty. So the critical moment is that your own children will never leave you. Don't think you are unreliable just because some children are usually disobedient. Finally, I am old and can't move. Oh, you find that those who help you and do filial piety to the elderly are still your own children! It used to be true to raise children for old age.

Third, grandchildren and relatives. Grandchildren belong to the younger generation, and there is a big age difference. Of course, when parents are away, grandchildren will also take care of grandparents. Because there is a generation gap, you probably can't expect them to take care of you tenderly, so it's no use blaming them. Not to mention relatives, come once a day and see you as a guest. Don't expect others to take care of you for a long time unless you spend money to invite others.

The fourth is to invite family nannies and nurses. These people are not related to you by blood, only by money. If you have more money and good care, they will be polite to you. Tired of you, they will walk away without hesitation, even without looking up. Try it if you don't believe me. Surrounded by nannies. These people see that you are not good at service. They will leave in two days, preferring to be unpaid.

It is not difficult to see from the world that the old people spent their old age mainly on their own, relying on having a house, a little money, a wife and filial children. Others are reliable, but few.
