AOMM: I’m down with OPP (Old People Problems)

by Old Man McDrake on Oct.25, 2009, under Advice, Rants

Mr. McDrake, I have a problem, my parents are advancing in age, and it’s about time to put them in a home. Now, my husband and I don’t have a lot of money, and can’t afford such things. I tell my husband that we should just wait for the evadable to happen, and when one of them gets hurt, adult protective services will step in and help. My husband says that isn’t right, he says my parents raised me, and I owe it to them.

Dear Broke in Brooklyn, that isn’t the way it works. I don’t know your parents, but I’m assuming they put your ass through school, and wiped your ass when you were a baby, it’s not right. Your parents deserve only the best… that India has to offer. No one can afford an American nursing home, so outsource the care of your parents to India. You know those commercials that say: “10 cents a day can feed a starving child in Africa” fuck that, starving kids in Africa can get a job, but 10 cents a day can feed a starving parent in India. Outsource that shit, your mom and pops can get their own private wing at an Indian nursing home for like $60 a month.
