    There is a lot of wisdom in this video. Elderly people must take heed. Don't give your savings to your adult children. Don't tell them how much you have. You can only trust your money, but not your children. Elder abuse in the West is rampant.
    Hold on to your money. It's your insurance. 💯

    We do live in changing times. I’m 69 years old. And during my years growing up families looked out for each other. When my parents got married they lived with my grandmother and two of his brothers until they built their house. We lived next door to my grandmother and my dad’s two brothers. Everyone got along with no problem until they passed. Back then after church all my dad’s brothers and sisters would go to my grandmother’s while we the children played outside unless it was cold. I’m my parents only child and we were very close and looked out for each other. After my dad’s passing it was me and my mother. Over time she got sick and everything fell on me. I took care of her. I done all the cooking and cleaning. I washed and dressed her. We laughed and talked with each other now she’s passed. Over the years I had fallen and broke my right hip. I stayed with my cousin who lived next door to me. Until one day my daughter came and said I was going to live with her and my son-in-law. I didn’t have time to process anything. I was just pulled up and carried to their house. As the saying goes, one monkey don’t stop the show. I’ve found this to be true. Despite my hip surgery when they want to go somewhere they go and leave me alone. I know they have to work. This is understandable But when they want to go somewhere for themselves they go. Leaving me alone until they get back. I have seizures off and on. But I’m not as bad with them as I was as a child. But they don’t let nothing stop there plans. These are changing times. Don’t get me wrong, I love my daughter and her husband, but things aren’t the same as in my childhood. These are changing times. And despite my setback I’m still independent. I can do for myself they’re not waiting on me hand and foot. Once I recover from my surgery I can do for myself. I don’t drive anymore, so I use my Insurance transport for my doctor appointment. They pick me up and bring me back home. It’s all about the times we live in today. Changing times.

      It isn't the times. It is the fact that younger generations feel betrayed, and rightly so, by older generations. Starting with the so called Greatest Generation who refused to police their own children, and on thru to the Boomers who refused to police their government, it has been one huge failure of a generation after another.

    If you have sons, you are going to have daughters-in -law. I know of parents who suffer at the hands of the son’s wife. The husband is always under the thumb of the wife. In order to keep the peace,the husband becomes an obedient servant. In some cases even daughters don’t want to have the parents in their house. The world is changing. Selfishness runs the world. Thanks to the education I had,I have my own financial freedom. I can pay for my care,, when and if I need it.

    The reason why we have a need to live with our elderly because they can teach our children and the next generation the upgrade that they had if it was strong within their own family core. Number two reason why it is good not bad to live with your elder family so we could be a help. Don’t forget they help us get this far. Think about.it

    • @BuddhaZenWishdom
      @BuddhaZenWishdom  11 дней назад

      You’ve highlighted an important perspective on intergenerational living. Living with elderly family members can indeed offer valuable opportunities for teaching and learning, bridging generations, and maintaining strong family bonds. They often have wisdom and experiences that can enrich the lives of younger family members, and the mutual support can strengthen family ties. It's a way to honor and build upon the contributions they've made to the family and society.

    It is sad in this day and age that there is inflation, cost of living being high. Sometimes it takes two incomes to pay for mortgage or rent. In a one parent household, raising a child can be difficult. It is hard to trust anyone outside the home with the child’s care when a trustworthy grandparent can help in the care, guidance and nurturing if the parent is at work. There are a lot of child predators or kidnappers out there and etc. Living together can work if the parties involved have consideration, communication, trust, respect for one another, along with boundaries and mutual house rules, etc. It can vary depending on the situation...

ANY ONE OR ANY BODY WHO CAN'T LOOK AFTER THERE PARENTS ARE NOT THINKING OF THERE PARENTS MUCH. I bet if the parents had money they would be there waiting for the handout. Yes and the daughter in law can piss of, because the rellies can cause some shit. They tried it at my mum's house and soon got fucking told to piss off.

      Thank you for your comment. It's true that how we treat others can often come back to us, and caring for our parents can set an example for the next generation. While it may seem that some young people today prioritize their own achievements over family, it's important to encourage and model the value of family care and support. Open communication and mutual understanding can help bridge generational gaps and foster stronger family bonds.

    It is sister wong’s family fault for allowing this mistreatment by their son & the heartless daughter-in -law!!!! They didn’t have to accept this kind of treatment at all!! By backing down, they are teaching those two ungrateful people how to treat them!!! You wanted to be a doormat & so you’ll be treated like one!!! 😅

    • @BuddhaZenWishdom
      @BuddhaZenWishdom  11 дней назад +1

      It's understandable to feel frustrated when witnessing or hearing about such situations. When families allow mistreatment to go unchecked, it can set a precedent for continued disrespect. In Sister Wong’s case, it seems like her family’s decision to tolerate poor behavior from her son and daughter-in-law has led to an unhealthy dynamic. When boundaries aren’t set, or when unacceptable behavior is tolerated, it can indeed teach others that such treatment is permissible.
      However, it's also important to recognize that sometimes, people might feel trapped or powerless to change their situation, especially when it comes to family. Cultural expectations, fear of conflict, or even a deep-seated hope that things will improve can prevent them from standing up for themselves. It’s a tough situation, but you're right-setting boundaries and demanding respect is crucial to breaking such cycles of mistreatment.

      It’s understandable to feel disillusioned, especially if you’ve witnessed and experienced many aspects of life. Sometimes, younger people’s optimism and dreams can seem naive compared to the realities you’ve encountered. However, their energy and ambition can also be a source of inspiration and hope. Every generation has its own perspective and challenges, and it can be valuable to offer guidance based on your experiences while also finding ways to appreciate their unique outlook.

      It sounds like you made significant sacrifices for your family, putting their needs ahead of your own desires and happiness. It's understandable to feel that you missed out on some of life's joys when you've dedicated so much to caring for others.
      It’s important to recognize your efforts and the love you’ve given, even if it came at a personal cost. Now that you’re reflecting on your life, finding small ways to enjoy your time and connect with the things you value can help bring some fulfillment. Your child’s love and care can be a source of comfort and joy in this stage of life.
