Why do i often see girls/women looking after their parents as they age.

Not to say men do not,they do as well,however,it is my general observation to see women/girls doing more and more to look after the older parents.

Do men suck at it? Do not have time due to other obligations and priorities? Do not feel as much connected or have way to much on the plate and go?

There are plenty of men who take care of their parents. Our parents are still pretty self-sufficient, but my brother, who lives nearby, regularly runs errands for them.
@bijouxbroussard yes,there are both of my uncles took care of my grand mother as she lived with them and one was with her like shadow. He is an amazing son. During her long battle with Cancer he looked after like a she was his little baby. He is an amazing man. So caring and giving..
