I'm almost 60 years old this year, I have a business, and the economic conditions are okay! My mother-in-law left last year and was 88 years old when she left; Father-in-law left this year! 90 years old when I left.
My mother-in-law started Alzheimer's disease in 2013 and has been unable to take care of herself since then, sleeping during the day and crying at night, crying for several hours, and getting up several times every night!
At that time, only my second aunt had time, so she negotiated a salary of 4,000 yuan per month to be served by her, plus living expenses and daily necessities, almost 7,000 yuan per month, and the other brothers and sisters were not able to afford it, so our family would bear all of it!
Every time I go back, the second aunt complains, and we have to buy her gifts, accompany the smiling face, and say good things to appease!
By this year, we've spent almost 1 million of them!
My parents are also older, and they are gradually unable to take care of themselves, I have asked my eldest sister to serve since 2019, and even the salary and living expenses are almost 6,000 yuan every month, and so far more than 20 tens of thousands have also entered!
I would say that if both parents have enough pension and the children have enough money, all this is fine! But I believe that most of the people's parents are rural, they only have a pension of more than 100 yuan per month, and some parents have a pension that is not high. Don't children work to serve their parents? Serving parents with filial piety, what does the whole family live on?
I have a lot of brothers and sisters now, plus I have a little money, so there is still a solution to this matter! However, I almost have to pay more than 2 million, how heavy?
Isn't it torture for sisters who serve their parents to not eat well and sleep well every day?
