RE: A time to stop and listen

It's been a while since I enjoyed reading anything on hive. This post just changed that for me, thank you.

I am from Nigeria and it is not in our culture to put our parents away in a shelter. I know it's quite common abroad. I don't know if I would be comfortable doing that really. It is certainly a difficult decision to make.

Yes, I've not been in such a position either, thankfully. Ideally, a parent would stay at home with family. The problem is when the child (the adult) must work to earn a living and pay the bills and cannot be at home with the parent. Leaving the parent alone can become a safety issue. I suppose hiring a nanny or nurse type would be another option. All are tough options.

Glad you enjoyed the read though.
