Erm. TS means nucleated. It's means very populated.

Nuclear here comes from the term 'nuclear family', as opposed to 'extended family'.
Nuclear family means just a father, mother, and their children. No more.
Sillyporeans. Can't even understand such a simple term. -

Your mum tried so hard to raise you.......she had to go over hours of excruciating pain and this is wot she gets?Originally posted by Catknight:nowadays family live in nuclear units and couples both work ,maids normally untrain to deal with dementia issues, sending old mum to old folks home not grateful??
Dun forget thats is becoz of her you get to enjoy life....... -
well, really i agree with you but there are exceptions. Say in the US or Japan or even China, some old people really rather live in retirement villages because they can be quite attractive...Originally posted by Deino:Your mum tried so hard to raise you.......she had to go over hours of excruciating pain and this is wot she gets?

But in Singapore, of course it's not the case. So if ur mom does want to live there, then i wouldn't say its unfilial. -
it depends on how u and your parents actually view this issue...
of course if u send them there..must visit them often.. -
yes i agree with you tooOriginally posted by simnatic:well, really i agree with you but there are exceptions. Say in the US or Japan or even China, some old people really rather live in retirement villages because they can be quite attractive...

unless its their choice then it could be an exception...... -
if my mother's got some illness or what, and requires someone to take care of her, i'd send her to old folks home...
its safer, and better for her...
anyway, frm what i see now.. its better for me n mama not to live together.. at least our r/s is v good now... i stay over at her plc for more than 24 hours n it becomes very ugly..

if its the best option, then no choice

BEGGAR THINKS IT DEPENDS.
STAY AT HOME OR AT OLD FOLKS HOME?
3 CRITERIAS TO CONSIDER:
1) YOUR MUM'S WISHES (THE MOST IMPORTANT)
2) WHICH OPTION IS BETTER FOR YOUR MUM'S CONDITIONS.
3) YOUR ABILITY AND AFFORDABILITY TO TAKE CARE OF HER
DEEP IN ALL PARENTS' HEARTS, THEY WANT TO LIVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN, GRAND CHILDREN IF POSSIBLE. -

Used to think so until my uncles (Including my dad) agree on sending my granny to old folk home. We just couldnt take good care of her. She is senile and hostile to ppl for no apparent reason. She lock herself out of the house and goten lost for duno how many time. Have to go police and do man hunt regularly. It is much safer for her in the home where she got peer of her age and ppl to look after her 24/7. Still we try to visit her often and bring her home on weekend. Such is life in sg. Most average income ppl are too busy working just to survive, so most of my uncle and auntie have to work, hence none is free to look after her 24/7.

old folks' home = new friends? anyways, if you do send her there, nt sure if she'll understand it's for her own good ... ahh so hard to be a filial child
-
Old folk home not cheap hor, at least $1k above ya, and also I heard my teacher said if u want to send your old folks to home, prepare to go there yourself when you are old, cos your childrens will do the same as you do, must follow parents sgood example mah.

it is like throwing them into prison except that the life is easier in there...
You think the worker there will treat them nice meh?
