Sending parents to the old folk's home when they are old!

hmm.. to get a head start.. you can try reading the topic for a few times. Let it digest. And i bet you will swear out loudly in front of your computer.

I discussed about it with my parents and their response were huge.. and possibly dissapointed.
I discussed about it with my friends too and their response were not very nice and friendly. I still remember one of the response was.. "TIAW! useless son ah u!"

At first, i thought it was a great idea but soon think otherwise. However, listen to my thoughts first.
When they are old and retired, surely they are gonna get boring right? Possibly yes.
When they are old and retired, isnt it best for them to be under care for all times is possible? Yes.
When they are old and retired, they might get lonesome and need a place to make frens and do activities, right? Yea, probably tat too.

And the solution to these three valuable points will be... hmm... a luxurious old folk's home where every retired gents and ladies can enjoy.. bukan??
And plus, i drop them there at 8 and pick them up at 5 sounds like a pretty good caring son to me right? haha..
Even that, my parents' answer is still a no.
apparently, they dun like the idea whereby they will be stucked to old folk's home with old people.. -_-" (sweatz)
My mum said, i would prefer to stay at home and drive out occasionally to meet with frens.

(i was laughing at myself that time cos wat i thought would be a great idea is actually a bad sucky idea)

I think most people potray old folk's home as unwanted old people recruitment centre. however, i think it can potrayed better as a luxurious mansion filled with happy happy retirees with facilities of swimming pool, saunas (did i spell it right?), gardens, game rooms, bedrooms and a lot more la. (endless list)

haha, still think my idea is bad? THINK AGAIN! :P

scary scary..

of course any parent would freak out! mine would definitely freak out. Hahaha! i guess when they reach a certain age, yes maybe its better to send them to an OFH where they would be taken care and watched out.

but tell it to your parents now,
"hey hey, i'm gonna send you to the OFH when i grow up"

they're gonna given you a huge scolding. no parent wants to be sent to an OFH. though you do have a funny idea of an 8-5pm. its like sending them to a day-care centre. Haha!

is that your way of returning the favour when your parents work 8-5pm and send you off to school and tuition?
