Unless you were a 100+ lb baby when your parents changed your diapers, I think it's not an equal equation.
But it's nice to see the devotion you have to family.
There seems to be a lot of judgment here, especially for people who are going the nursing home route. I think a bit of empathy is called for, along with the reminder that every situation is not the same. And if you haven't lived the lives of those you're judging, you can't really know the situation. It's wonderful that so many people have the ability and desire to take care of their parents themselves, though.
I will admit it's a very emotional topic for me personally. I appreciate your input too.
