And very sad to think she is not getting adequate care at this time of desperate need in her life...one can't say really how life is going to turn out really! I read about some fire fighter's family in NYC a while back - how the daughter-in-law took care of her FIL when he had Alzheimer's (along with the old man's wife and son, her husband) - I mean the popular notion is that the elderly are put in homes in the US whereas they are given care at home in India...but there are all kinds everywhere.noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844071708334559013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-27429295470189720912007-05-11T17:56:00.000-07:002007-05-11T17:56:00.000-07:00interesting & well thought out take given that you...interesting & well thought out take given that you have 4 siblings yourself<BR/><BR/>moved me.<BR/><BR/>a litle tangential but i know of a mother with 13 kids and not one of them is in a position to give her adequate care when she is suffering from severe memory loss....Artnavyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060564468230843716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-26980850311306177592007-05-10T22:31:00.000-07:002007-05-10T22:31:00.000-07:00Thanks Moppet's mom.

Some people are so sure of wanting two children they suffer no anxiety over this issue. For me, I worry so much that I should do a good job on raising them and what if I can't cope well with two on my hands etc etc...but just went by my gut instinct that no matter how much I fear the initial years it is the best thing to do for my children...really hope it turns out that way and I am able to find the patience to feed two kids and still maintain my sanity! :)noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844071708334559013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-81685827735215524062007-05-10T22:05:00.000-07:002007-05-10T22:05:00.000-07:00Lovely post, noon.

Esp if it is just two somehow they manage to give them both adequate attention too. We will wait and see when it is your turn - if you go for two or stop with one !:)noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844071708334559013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-40783262994377981112007-05-10T13:51:00.000-07:002007-05-10T13:51:00.000-07:00Rohini - Thanks.Yes, I don't understand that eithe...Rohini - Thanks.<BR/>Yes, I don't understand that either..it seems like one should be able to take break for 3-4 months to have a second and continue on with a career - so many brilliant career minded have had 2-3 children...I guess it is a matter of wanting it.noonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03844071708334559013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13548905.post-24637791490752717012007-05-10T13:34:00.000-07:002007-05-10T13:34:00.000-07:00to add to my prev comment, being a single child ha...to add to my prev comment, being a single child has a lot of perks! u get all the attention and are pampered no end...i grew up as a spoilt brat!
