Is it good or bad for rural elderly to live in cities with their children?

There are two aspects to bringing the rural elderly into the city to live with their children. There are advantages and disadvantages. Usually ask the old man what he thinks.

When we make our living conditions better through our own efforts, we usually take our parents from the countryside to live with us in the city. You can cook for yourself at work. When you get home, you can have a hot meal and take care of each other with the elderly.

Because old people are old, they sometimes feel uneasy in the countryside. If you live in a city with your children, if there is any inconvenience and you need help, your children can help you.

And some rural elderly people often don't adapt when they come to cities, because they seldom take buses at home. They usually talk and laugh with their neighbors and friends at home and play cards or something. But when you get to the city, you need to take the bus or subway everywhere. Besides, everyone in the neighborhood doesn't talk much. Usually, when children go to work, the elderly will feel very lonely at home.

In the community, I met an old man pushing his grandson outside the house. His baby was about the same age as mine and started chatting.

He said he didn't like living in the city because his wife was still in the countryside when he was in the city. He helps to take care of the children in the city, but he really feels that he seldom talks to others, unlike in the countryside, where he always visits and doesn't know the way everywhere, so he always stays at home and is in a bad mood.

So take the elderly to live in the city, not directly alone, it is best to bring two people together, they still have something to say and can be companions. Usually, we should take the old people out for a walk on weekends, and don't always stay at home, so they will feel bored.
