Nowadays, more and more elderly people are beginning to face the problem of providing for the elderly independently. They no longer pin all their hopes on their children, but strive to solve the dilemma of providing for the elderly on their own. In particular, some elderly people who do not have a pension have to go out to work or farm on their own to earn an income. Even if they are very old, they still maintain their agility, work as much as they can, and earn as much money as possible. In addition, some people with pensions choose to work outside the home to increase their income when they first retire because of their small pensions. Although the salary is not high, the work is relatively easy, and an extra income is a good thing for them. When they are older and their bodies start to move, they will review their pensions and savings, and if they don't have a lot of money, they will reduce their expenses, try not to ask their children for money, and rely only on themselves to solve the pension problem. Even some elderly people have begun to call for legislation to legalize "euthanasia" in order to choose a more decent way to leave with the consent and willingness of the elderly and their families.
Most elderly people do not want to live with their sons and daughters-in-law unless they need to take care of their grandchildren. Some elderly people choose to rent a house, some return to their rural hometowns to live their own retirement life, and some choose to live in nursing homes. Whether it's a daughter's home or a son's home, many elderly people simply can't live there for a long time. The living habits and concepts of the two generations are very different, and when faced with the same thing, they may have differences of opinion, leading to conflicts. It's not that older people don't want to be with their children, but they find that family conflicts are significantly reduced when they live with their children. After all, when they are old, they don't want to be angry with their children every day, and they want to be able to enjoy their old age happily.
The circle of life of the elderly is particularly narrow, and almost every day they repeat yesterday's life. They go to bed early and wake up early, fall asleep around 9 p.m., wake up around 6 a.m., and nothing special happens throughout the day. They do some housework, cook and eat, play on their phones, watch TV, and occasionally go out to the park, square dance or play chess. Of course, if your grandson is around, you will also be responsible for transporting your grandson to and from school. Basically, this is how life is done every day, and the whole circle of life has become much narrower than when I was working. Sometimes they feel lonely and bored, but there is nothing they can do about it, because this is the life of most older people.
Older people are always worried about their children. Before the children got married, their parents worried about their marriage and tried their best to arrange blind dates for them. And now, getting married has become more difficult, and many children have gone on blind dates many times without results. Some parents are worried about the high bride price of the wedding and the conditions of buying a house, which makes many parents troubled. Once the children get married, the parents start to worry about when they will have children. Today's young people are not in a hurry to have children, nor are they willing to have multiple children, which makes the older generation of parents constantly urging. When a child is born, parents will worry about taking care of their grandchildren, and some even urge their daughters-in-law to have another child. It can be seen that in old age, most parents are always worried and overly anxious when dealing with their children.
The elderly began to live a life of self-care, they no longer rely on their children, but look for their own solutions to the problem of providing for the elderly. Many elderly people choose to go out to work, farm or do other jobs to earn living expenses, and some even call for legalized "euthanasia". At the same time, the elderly are generally reluctant to live with their children, because the living habits and concepts of the two generations are quite different, and avoiding living with children can reduce family conflicts. Older people live in a narrow circle and spend most of their time repeating the same life, and may feel lonely and bored. In addition, the elderly have endless worries about their children, from marriage to children's problems, parents are always worried and constantly trying to lay a good future for their children.
The phenomenon of self-care for the elderly is becoming more and more common in today's society. They gradually realized that relying on their children to provide for the elderly was unreliable, and began to solve the problem of providing for the elderly through their own efforts. In contrast, the pressure on older people is indeed greater than ever. They do not rely on raising children to prevent old age more and more, but hope that they can solve the problem of old-age care independently. Some elderly people choose to work or farm on their own to earn money, and even if they are very old, they are willing to work hard to ensure that they have enough money**. In addition, some elderly people have a pension, but the amount of retirement is limited, and they still choose to work outside the home in the first few years of retirement to increase their income. When they are older and unable to continue working, they will review their pension and savings, and if they have limited funds, they will try to save their expenses, do not ask their children for money, and solve the pension problems themselves. It is worth mentioning that some elderly people hope that ** can step up legislation to legalize "euthanasia", as long as the elderly themselves and their families agree and are voluntary, they can choose a decent way to leave. In general, older people increasingly want to be able to retire independently and with dignity.
In addition, many older people do not want to live with their children. Especially if they don't need to take care of their grandchildren, they prefer to choose their own way of living. Some elderly people choose to rent a house, some return to their rural hometowns, and some choose nursing homes. Despite having sons and daughters in the family, many elderly people are unable to live with their children for long periods of time. There are differences in the living habits and concepts of the two generations, and even in the face of the same thing, it is easy to have differences and contradictions. This is not because older people do not want their children to be around, but because they realize that living with their children can greatly reduce family conflicts. After all, when they are old, they want to be able to enjoy a happy old age.
In addition, the circle of life of the elderly is often very narrow. Their lives repeat the same thing almost every day. Wake up, do housework, cook, watch TV, play on your phone, and occasionally go out for a walk in the park, square dance or play chess. Time flies slowly, and the whole life scene is much smaller than the working period. Sometimes, they also feel lonely and bored, but there is nothing they can do about it because that's what they do. This narrow circle of life is lamenting, but the elderly are often unable to change.
Finally, older people also care a lot about their children. They are always worried about their children's marriages, and about the bride price and the purchase of a house. After the children got married, they began to worry about their grandchildren's problems and urged them to have children as soon as possible. When a child is born, parents will urge their daughter-in-law to have another child. It can be said that in old age, most parents have endless things to worry about their children. They constantly strive to lay the foundation for their children to ensure that they have a happy life.
To sum up, it is becoming more and more common for the elderly to begin to care for the elderly on their own. They hope to solve the problem of providing for the elderly through their own efforts, rather than relying on their children. At the same time, they are reluctant to live with their children because of the very different living habits and attitudes between the two generations. Older people live in a narrow circle and often feel lonely and bored. In addition, the elderly also care a lot about their children, whether it is marriage or children's problems, they are always worried. The phenomenon of self-care for the elderly is a part of contemporary society that cannot be ignored.
