The old people who left their homes to take care of their children are called "old drifters", how are they living?

The old people who left their homes to take care of their children are known as the "old drifters".

My uncle is the old drifter, we are Qingdao people, and my cousin got into the civil service in Jiangsu, after my cousin got married and had a child, my uncle has no choice but to be the old drifter, he and my aunt and uncle are separated, one in Jiangsu with the children to look after the children, a person Qingdao to take care of my elderly grandma.

My uncle often sends me microblogging, words are and my aunt together for a lifetime, did not think of their own children hard to separate them, and a strong request can only be in Jiangsu with children, can not bring the child to Qingdao. My uncle is actually dissatisfied, he does not want to be an old drifter, but he can only talk to me to decompress, can not change the fact, because he has to help his son and grandson.

However,

There are actually too many old people like my uncle who, after retirement, have not yet enjoyed a few years of happiness, and for the sake of their children even separated from their wives who have been with them all their lives! I have to say, it's too hard, these responsibilities can really make people bend over and depressing to the core! Now my uncle is waiting until his children are in elementary school, maybe he can return to his hometown Qingdao! However, his grandson is only three years old now, and it will be at least three more years until he goes to elementary school. For a man to take care of a child in his hometown, it's hard to imagine!

I think that if the children are filial, they should take care of their own children and not let their parents take care of them. It is not right to morally kidnap parents on the grounds that they are busy at work! The child is their own, parents of this generation of young while working while bringing up children, why can't we do it? It really doesn't make any sense that parents' generation suffered all their lives and retired to work even harder!

Those old people who left their homes to take care of their children are known as ? The old drifters? , and they are actually not living happily and not as well as they would like!
