...but it's not the kid's responsibility to support their aging parents anyway, nor is it the kid's responsibility to take care of aging parents when they can no longer live alone in their homes. That's not what kids are for and if kids are used for that purpose by the parent, then the parent is abusing their kids.

It has nothing to do with paying anything forward.
It is not and never has been a child's responsibility to take care of their aging parents when parents are unable to take care of themselves.
Being a parent's Power of Attorney is one thing where you can have control of what Senior's Residence they live in, but taking a parent into your home while attempting to play 'Personal Support Worker' when you are not trained in that field of expertise, is nothing short of folly.
In addition to that, to have aging parents suddenly show up and start living in your home when they've never lived there before will quickly destroy the dynamics of your own family faster than a divorce between husband and wife will ever do.
