Who is taking care of your aging parents?

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.
