Bored to death by their elderly parents...

SDG — 8/1/2006 2:37:25 PM (archived)

How much do you want to bet that these kids will be so bored to death by their elderly parent in 20 years that they won't even visit her in the nursing home?

"Take mom out to get her hair done or buy some new clothes? How Boring! What are we paying the nursing home for anyway! Let them take her to the park, it's their career choice! I didn't choose to have parents anyway! Who needs 'em!"

        Do you really, really want mental health to be a litmus test for participation in life? - Mary Anne - 8/2/2006 4:27:12 AM
        
        "serious" mental problems would have been more accurate. - Tom Brosz - 8/2/2006 6:23:10 PM
