Yes, I would! They gave me their love & care. I would do anything for my mom (dad passed years ago).
-
I would gladly take care of them if they needed it - but my dad made me promise that when he got old and could no longer care for himself that we WOULDN'T do it ourselves. He wants us to put him in a home. He's seen what caring for an ailing parent has done to his own mother, and to my mom when her mom was dying. He doesn't want his kids to do that.

My dad died when I was young, but I promised my mom and when she got sick, she moved in with us. We, my husband too, promised her she'd stay with us always,and she did. She's gone now, but our memories and her love are still here!

My father passed away several years ago. My mother is in her late 70's and still lives alone. There is no way I could ever live with her again.

My parents are long deceased. My mother died birthing me and my father died when I was barely 18. Hence, I cannot say with absolute certainty what my mother was like due to lack of first hand experience but, from what my father told me, she was first rate. I know first hand that I could not have asked for a better father. I would have done anything and everything to have kept him out of a nursing home. However, near the end of his life he said that he would not want to burden me and would have signed himself in. He and I would have had a dispute over this issue. He died at home. I held his hand as he passed.

My wife is a CNA in a nursing home. I visit there at times, and not as bad as 20/20 would have you believe. You have to do what you have to do. If it were my choice, my parents would have to live in the nursing home. Not out of cruelty or lack of love, but more out of need and circumstances, I guess.
