Who is taking care of your aging parents?

My Dad is gone. I am full-time caregiver for my Mom.

My wife and I.

I’ve said in the past that I wouldn’t, and here I am starting it. It seems impossible to know if I don’t help they won’t get the amount of help they need and still not do anything about it

Me

Both gone now. My mom took care of my Dad and us girls took care of my mom in the last days.

My parents so my responsibility.
No way I could give up on them.

I AM!
I took care of my father during covid and I will do the same for my Mother too.

i did until they passed...now i wonder who will take care of me 😟

I used to take care of my mother. No idea about my father and don't care much.

They can still manage on their own for now, but my dad is in his 70s. Me and my two sisters live fairly close to each other, and I have no doubt we will all take care of them when the time comes.

its something we gotta think about

I'm taking care of my father. My mother passed away five years ago. I took care of her up until she passed.

Dad took care of my mom and I took care of my dad.

My father died suddenly at home, 800 miles from here. My wife and I moved my mother and her sister to be near us so we could care for them until they died in their 90's.

My wife and I took care of my parents for a few years until they got so bad a nursing home was the only solution , we also helped care for her brother the last 7 years of his like as he died of cancer.

I would like to say I did, as the youngest sibling. Sort of traditional, I guess. My mother's youngest brother took care of her parents. My father's youngest brother took care of their mother. My wife's youngest brother took care of their parents. My youngest is keeping a close eye on me, and filling in when I need post-op caregiver, etc. But truth be told, although my wife and I took care of my mother, it was my wife who took the brunt of it.

But in penance, I took care of both her and my subsequent partner.

[c=800000] I do take care of m elders who I lived with
And I'm always worried but they're doing okay themselves these days [/c]

Mom been dead for over 30 years now, and dad been missing close almost 20 years now

My sister and I took care of our mother the last two years of her life. Our dad went suddenly.

Hell is taking care of my father ( died in 2018) and my mother, probably my brother and I

He can rot for all I care. She drank herself to death almost 2 years ago now.

No one at this point, they're doing great. She the time comes it will be Us.

I helped take care of my Dad before he passed, me and my brother. My Mom is doing fine

I do, but also working on getting some in home care to help out.

The earth (as in the planet Earth) is taking care of my parents as they're both deceased. Dad about 2011/12 and mum in 2023. I do not know really anything about dad's passing except he was living and working in Istanbul at the time. Mum was in aged care. I have no idea if dad was religious, but mum sort of was.

We are now aging parents and it is a scary thought.

My parents are self-sufficient for now. They both live pretty far away, and I don’t have great relationships with any of them. They’d have to move out here in order for me to be helpful, which I know they would not be excited about, but nor would living in a convalescent home be stellar

They're still good as 50's isn't old

Both of mine are gone

Mine are both gone.

The aging parent is ME!

My dad was in his 80s and died suddenly but helped out for a few years before, my mother died of dementia had to finally put her in a facility tough part of aging parents

They’re still perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. I’m hoping it’ll still be a while yet before I have to worry about that.

God 😔

I'm

@TessDun my dad died ten years ago this month and my mam has issues but is still quiet compus mentus but i am at home with her if she needs help

My father died when he was in his 60s. My mother died when she was about 90; she'd been in a care home for several years.

They are still independent for now, but some adjustments are coming before long beyond the occasional visit to lend a hand.

I AM the aging parent. Fortunately I am still healthy and have lots of kids to fight over me when the time comes.. :)

They've both left this life decades ago
My stepson tends to many of my needs

My parents are still in their early-40s so I think they can look after themselves

my mum and dad are doing well for their age, they are elderly.

My brother lived close to them, so he did. They are gone now.

Mum's dead... "Dad" can go jump off a cliff for all I care...

now?
they have been converted to ashes.

Me

Satan? They're long gone.

I am, the one still alive at least ❤️‍🩹
