When parents are old, there may be two situations. One is that they are old but can take care of themselves. In this case, parents can be encouraged and helped to establish their own life circles and interests, such as teaching them to use smart phones, watching online TV, and letting them get in touch with social information as much as possible, or dancing in square dance, playing chess and chatting with peers. These are all a way of life. Let them distract themselves as much as possible instead of shrinking into their own world, which will only make them feel lonely. You should try to take time to chat with your parents, listen to their gossip, or take your children and parents to enjoy family happiness. In this way, they usually have their own life circle, and you will often take time to spend with them. I believe that old people should not feel lonely.
The other is that parents are too old to take care of themselves. In this case, there is no way but to take care of them. As the saying goes, "there is no dutiful son in front of the hospital bed", because taking care of an old man who can't take care of himself for a long time, this kind of physical fatigue and mental torture is unimaginable to ordinary people. It may be better if brothers and sisters share some, but if they are only children, they can only bear it themselves. Taking care of the elderly may require a lot of energy and patience. Grievances are inevitable. Of course, I suggest that parents take the main care responsibility and partners help share it. If you are really busy at work and must be taken care of by your partner, you should be more tolerant and understanding to your partner, and don't blame your partner blindly, so that your family will be more harmonious. In short, parents are old and definitely need our company and care. However, nowadays, people's life is under great pressure, and sometimes it is inevitable that they will be negligent or unable to do so. Therefore, they should always enlighten their parents and have their own entertainment circle in their later years, instead of focusing all their attention on the younger generation. Otherwise, parents will feel lonely, and children will bear heavy emotional shackles and have time to spend with their parents.
