People nowdays in few parts of the world find it quite hard to make time,to spend with thier elderly ones . There are sufficient resoning to it. Majority of the people in the world do 9-8 jobs, they spend most of their time during the day in the office, getting exhausted and strained from the work. They come home devastated and tired for normal family interactions. More reasons could be if they move to a different city for better work, most of them wouldnt be able to take everyone with them,So they intend to leave them at old age homes. Its sad and devastating to them but most of them may not have another option.
