It's
hard for people who have to work full-time
to make a living and take care of their
parents at the same time.

Now
people tend to live longer, and when they get
older, in some cases, they can not take care of
themselves. As a result, their middle-aged children
have to take care of them.
I
think that aging parents in my country are not in a
good position because when they can not take care
of themselves, and sometimes no one can take care
of them. Because in my country people become
full-time workers, the situation today is not like
the situation in the past in which all members of
the family worked together in the house.
It's
hard for people who have to work full-time to make
a living and take care of their parents at the same
time. Unfortunately, sometimes they have to make a
hard decision to send their parents to nursing
homes.
