Report Shows DISHONOUR To Father And Mother.

Apparently, at least one third of us or more would refuse to take ageing parents into our homes. This may not be quite as bad as it appears to be at first sight. Some literally have insufficient room for current families; some would have to give up work and would then be unable to pay the mortgage; some parents would be a danger to children - and so it goes on.
For Christians, there is a duty to look after parents if at all possible. When frail and fragile, my lovely mother-in-law came to live with us but could not adapt to our lifestyle and returned to her own house where she died some months later. My own widowed Mum spent five and a half years with us and I was delighted to be able to try to be a good son. This was very difficult at times when she had no interest whatsoever in our lives, an obsessive personality and increasing dementia. I had made a promise to both her and my dying father that she would live with us until that became impossible. She spent her remaining time with us.
I have known good people who have taken parents into their homes and mayhem has ensued. This is not as easy as some would make out as an issue.
If this report means that so many are willing - then I regard it as a positive amidst a sea of negatives in our Cruel New World.
