If the old man is keeping them in the house he lives in, and there are children living with him in the house, I think the children might object. If they are kept outside, there is no need for the children to object.
People really need to find something they want to do, can do, and like to do to pass the time when they get old, otherwise their hearts will become empty and lonely in too much time. Everyone wants to have a certain place in other people's hearts, to experience the feeling of being missed, being thought of, being cared for, that is, to brush the sense of existence now. Young people may not experience the feeling of having a lot of time waiting for their own consumption, always feel that the time to sleep is not enough, not enough time to have fun, not enough time to earn money, is not enough time to do what what. So it's not realistic for young people to take time out to spend with the elderly.
Now so many older people like to dance, play mahjong and cards, and travel together, I think most of them like to do a thing with a lot of people of the same age. Someone to accompany, someone to talk to, can discuss topics together to chat together, can be recognized by their peers. I think it's a good idea to have a good time, but I think it's a good idea to have a good time, and I think it's a good idea to have a good time.
Don't like people to get together with the elderly, it will put their own enthusiasm love dedication. If you like animals, you can keep some cats and dogs to keep them company.
The child is one or two years old when I often take her to see an old man in the neighborhood to feed the stray cats and dogs in the neighborhood. When I had time, I would go to see it at a fixed time and a fixed place. Every time the old man brought a big pot of food, poured it into a food box tied to the fence, and a moment later there were cats and dogs coming over to eat, up to a dozen of them. Maybe they know what time of day this place has food, too.
The child was squatting not far away from the place to stare, I was on the side of the old man to chat. The old man said that in the beginning, there are always leftovers in the house, and it is a pity to waste them, so he took them out and fed them to the cats and dogs in the neighborhood. After a long time, it became a serious matter, and I always thought of doing this every day, and I also thought of it when I went out. Not raised in the home, home health can be guaranteed, stray cats and dogs do not have to think about giving baths and medication for these things, after all, the elderly energy is limited, things will be too busy too tired, so the family does not oppose. In the beginning, just one or two cats and dogs, and then more and more.
My mom is getting older now, and she always likes to take a plastic bag with her when she goes out for a walk. When she sees a plastic bottle on the street she picks it up and fills it. Basically every day to go out to turn around to be comfortable. Sometimes picking up more are happy to come back. My sister found a big cardboard box and put it in the yard to contain these plastic bottles. When the box is full, they will be hauled to the scrap yard together, and the money they get from the sale will make their faces smile. She would give each of our children a share of the money to buy candy, popsicles, and other treats, making herself happy and the children happy too. We think it's a reason for her to go out and get some exercise, and it gives her a sense of accomplishment to be happy from time to time, so we don't oppose it. My mother-in-law can not, what do not like to do, all day are on the TV, now the body spirit is not as good as my mother.
Elderly people find their own favorite things to do, on the children's hindrance is not big, or try to go to support a little bit, there are difficulties to help a little bit, like when we are small parents to help us.
