If a family can live under the same roof for four generations or even five generations, it is a very blessed family. However, some people worry about having a long-lived old man at home, and they make future generations pay more attention to it.
Then, the longer the life expectancy of the elderly at home, will it make future generations more blessed? These three practical problems may refresh your cognition. Let's have a look.
1, family economic problems
There is a long-lived old man at home. For some wealthy families, it's no big deal just to have a pair of chopsticks. If the old man is sick, just find a caregiver to take care of him personally, and the children can visit the old man at most.
But for a poor family, it is not necessarily a good thing to have a long-lived old man at home. The old man is in good health. After all, his family has a pair of chopsticks, which won't have much influence on his family. But even if the elderly are healthy, they will get sick one day because of physical aging. It costs a lot of money to treat the elderly, which many families may not be able to afford.
Coupled with the fact that the elderly can't take care of themselves, their descendants will definitely spend more time and energy to take care of the elderly. After all, their financial strength does not allow them to hire an elderly care worker and waste money. For the elderly, not only are they sick, but life is not good when they are old, and they will also drag down future generations. It is estimated that they are also very uncomfortable. Many people may think it is better to leave early.
2. Family disputes
Having a long-lived old man at home may lead to conflicts between children. For example, if the elderly are ill, the children will spend money to treat the elderly, and whoever pays more will pay less, or who will take care of the elderly when they can't take care of themselves, which will easily lead to family disputes and become unfriendly.
If the children can be reasonable and reasonably distributed, the elderly can enjoy their old age, but if the children can't do this, it will be in big trouble, and maybe the family will fall apart, which will also be a great blow to the elderly.
3. Children have limited energy.
For a long-lived old man, his children should have entered old age. They also have their own families and children, and they are often distracted to help their children take care of their grandchildren. At this time, if there is a long-lived old man in the family, they are bound to take care of him. They are old and have limited energy, and may feel overwhelmed.
