  • @RustyRaven we do have Society Security but this only works if you have a paying job that tracks your hours. And I’ve heard of programs attempting to address all these issues. In WA State there’s a ‘home health’ program where these family members can take a certification course and get paid minimum wage for doing the work they are already doing for free. And they get basic training on first aid & elder care.
    The US is really 50+ different countries in some ways ( as the name itself implies).



  • @RustyRaven yeah we villianize nursing homes but I’ve yet to see a situation where elder care turns out to be an actually a healthy relationship between the adult children and thier parents.
    I want it work, if I had a better relationship with my mother I’d do more if it.

    Also this lenses given more meaning to the ‘old maids’ of previous centuries. We’re they unmarriageable? or did thier parents intend on having a full time caregiver in thier dotage and ‘groom’ them to become caregivers?
