[QUOTE="Billybob, post: 2089668, member: 1294"] We all think of child support and it makes sense of course. But what about the reversal? Even in cases of a "poor raising" most of our parents (some exceptions of course) at least kept us alive when we couldn't do it ourselves. Some take care of their parents but as we know many don't. Thoughts for consideration; Should their be some type of means testing for people putting their elders in a nursing home at taxpayers expense? Should the adult children of parents with the means to care for their parents be charged for any benefits their parents receive due to being in poverty?(food stamps, medicaid, etc.) What about emotional support? (a very important thing for many elders.) Is a 1hr. visit a month a sign of love and caring or just an act to ease ones conscience and show to others? What about those families where one sibling is given the whole responsibility for the elder and expected to sacrifice while the other siblings do nothing? I'd be interested in hearing opinions but please forgive me if I don't answer every opinion directly because it's been a long... [/QUOTE]
