Your parents and you - Part 3

Do you know that, when taking care of aged and sick parents, a lot of parties involved?


First, it involves you, your spouse and children. Some adjustments have to be made. Impromptu. Can not delay. If it can be on an ad-hoc arrangement, it would be better. But, what if it is going to be longer than anticipated?


Then, how about your work? Your boss? Your colleagues? Your uplines? Your downlines? Your investors? Your policy holders? Your work will be affected and indirectly some jobs can not function as expected as you are absent more often now. How long do you think they will understand? Is it fair to them?


How about your spouse's siblings? Your father or mother in law? They have a family programme and you have agreed to join. Suddenly you can't go. That means your spouse and children have to stay put. How about other occasions? As the situation prolongs, more family programmes you have to forgo.


Certain regular activities have to reschedule. Sometimes, your spouse have to absent from work. Once in a while you have to delay sending and taking your children to and from school. While on the way to an appointment, you received a call, and you have to make a detour. You have to re-schedule the appointments. Seminars, courses etc which you are required to attend, you have to excuse yourself. Situation does not permit you to be active on work, social or business aspect of your life.


I envy those who maintain their status quo and continue life as usual.


As I mentioned in part 1, sacrifices have to be made, priorities changed and routines adjusted.


There's no two way about it!
