Why would their address be Old Age Home?

Old age home

Parents always put food in the mouths of their children without eating their own, but where are those children today? They don't even have time to get the news of how their parents are. Who can say their own children may one day treat them that way? At various festivals, when parents do not see their children or receive a phone call from them, they weep silently and sigh☹

We must remember that those who are children today will be parents in the future. As parents become more tender in their old age, it is the child's duty to create a beautiful living environment for them. We have to be responsible and sincere so that the address of any parent is 'NOT' an old age home. A safe and beautiful shelter must be created for every parent. Every house should be a high quality old age home. If you look at the pages of the newspaper, you can see the messages of the elderly parents from the old age home to their busy children. Tears come to my eyes when I read thousands of messages of emotion and affection. Even then the children do not have time to reply to those messages. Perhaps, while waiting for the reply of the letter, many elderly parents closed the account book of the world and passed away. Maybe at some point of life the children will realize their mistake but then it will be very late.

Parental Code of Conduct :

1) Communicate your needs and feelings to your children together or separately.

2) In case of any crisis, discuss with the children.

3) If the crisis is not resolved in the discussion, seek the help of the family, extended family members or the local maintenance support committee.

4) Have the same attitude towards all the members of the family and try to get along with everyone including the child.

5) Try to protect your own movable and immovable property.

6) Save money for your future protection.

7) Introduce your own religious and cultural values and moral education to the children and the next generation.

8) Try to take care of yourself according to your physical ability.

Code of Conduct for Children :

1) Parents should be treated with dignity and care at all times.

2) The opinion of the parents should be considered seriously.

3) Special attention should be paid to the physical and mental health of the parents and the necessary services - care, diet and other materials should be provided as soon as possible.

4) Do not destroy the property of the parents and uphold the legal rights of the parents.

5) Ensure opportunities to utilize the experience and skills of parents.

6) Do not use the resources of the parents arbitrarily through deception.

7) Do not try to usurp the share of other heirs in the property of the parents.

8) If parents do not have their own assets, do not blame them.

9) Children will strive to maintain the reputation, dignity and family heritage of parents.

10) Provide emergency savings for the maintenance and future protection of parents according to their ability to earn income.

11) Ensure the civil rights of parents.

12) Be patient as much as possible if the child cannot meet any need immediately or is late.

They will also be required to provide food, clothing, and medical care to their parents. Otherwise, if the parents lodge a written complaint with the administration, appropriate action will be taken and the matter will be settled within 30 days.

In old age, parents become like children, so they behave like children. They have made us human beings by accepting hundreds of sacrifices since our childhood. We also have a duty to serve those people at the end of their lives without keeping them in the old age home. It is worth remembering that we too will one day grow old. If we leave our old parents in the old age home, our children may one day leave us in the same situation. So we should not leave our old parents in the old age home but keep them to ourselves, love them, as they did in our childhood. Therefore, not the old age home, but your own abode should be the last refuge of parents. There is no one else in the world who is as sincere and kind as parents. Others may have an interest in friendship and kindness; but there is no interest in parental affection and kindness, there is no artificiality and ritualism. Their tender affection and kindness towards the child is unblemished and pure. There is no question of anyone else being as compassionate as them in creation. They do not worry about their own food and clothing, they only think about the food and clothing of their children, they think about their comfort, they work hard, they live their lives. There is so much grace and contribution in each of our breaths and in the layers of life that it is impossible to repay. The demand is that we will Love, Respect and Serve them. Children will serve their parents, nurture and care for them, respect and reverence - this is the need of nature, the demands of humanity and the instructions of the Creator. No matter how educated, knowledgeable, modern and progressive a child may be, if he or she does not give dignity to his parents, does not serve them, does not keep inquiries, then he or she is a disgrace to human name. Although they have many other qualities, they are deprived of the qualities of humanity. It is undesirable and unexpected for a child to have such bad qualities. The main thing is the love and respect of the parents by the child. The service in which there is affection, respect, tenderness is service. That is to be expected. The service that is free from all this is not service. Parents do not get peace in such service, do not get satisfaction. They suffer because they feel dependent on others. To receive service from the child in the sense described is the right of the parents over the child. It is not the grace of the child, it is not the kindness. If you do not realize this, you will have to stand in the court of God and be held accountable. So let's take the matter to heart and treat our parents or elders well.
