Room and Board

Do you think children should provide room and board for their aging parents? I was never presented with this situation, as my mother passed years ago at 51, but what are your opinions on this?

While it's not disrespectful or bad to NOT give your parents a place to live, it is a very thoughtful thing to do. If the child has enough money, then yes. It's a normal thing to do, and it is a way to show appreciation for all your parents have done for you. [spoiler]Assuming that room and board means letting them live with you. I didn't know what it meant, and it took a bit of effort to find the definition.[/spoiler]

Family is family. If you're parents don't have a place to stay and you got on with them during your early life and had a good up bringing then yes, you should.

What if your father beat you relentlessly as a child, what if your mother allowed it and told you it was your fault? Would you still feel the same way?

No then fuck them. If they didn't treat you right, why treat them right? Only do such a thing if you feel like they deserve it as parents. If they gave a fuck, you give a fuck. Vice versa if they didn't.

"and you got on with them during your early life and had a good up bringing then yes, you should."

Quote that.

Do two wrongs make a right? What about a moral compass?

Yes, in ny opinion that phrase is wrong. I like the phrase "An eye for an eye" better, personally. ;)

I suppose it varies because of the situation. I mean, if it were my mom or dad, I would do anything I could to help them. I would make any sacrifice I had to for them. I mean, after all, they did the same for me when I was born and even now.
It also depends on the relationship they have, and the financial means they can work with.
But if it were me, I would do anything I needed to to help my parents because I love them. They did the same thing for me and will continue to do so. (:

P.S. - I'm sorry to hear about your mother. /: I just lost my grandma recently, so I know it can be kinda tough losing a loved one.

By this ideology can I assume If the child was not financially able to do so is it expected that he/she find an alternate means of assistance?
