I dont know why everyone talks only about mothers here. There are lot of cases, where even old fathers are left at old age homes. This cannot be solved by just punishing or putting fine on their children. That will only increase the hatred towards their parents. What needs is a good counselling. Every guy should do proper investments and savings plan, so that it would help himself and his wife during old age. Am not saying that children should not take care of their parents. But savings would atleast create some sort of security to their old age life. Also I donot agree the fact that daughter in laws are responsible for the fights in the family or sending mothers to old age home. Before marriage, every mother would be doing everything for her son and after his marriage she would expect to continue doing this. But her daughter in law would prefer to do everything for her husband and there comes the misunderstanding and mothers would start developing some sort of complex (which is natural). At this juncture, its the responsibility of every son to bridge the gap between his mother and his wife. He should make them understand and ensure that no misunderstanding occurs between them.
