Why do adult children resist taking care of their aging parents? . Usually this question is asked by people who are looking for an opportunity to avoid this social obligation.

Why do adult children resist taking care of their aging parents? Sharón Lynn Wyeth, Educator and administrator spanning 40 years; author bestselling book. Having said that, it is wonderful when adult children assist their parents as their gratitude for bringing them into the world and caring for them until they could be on their own. Be sure to keep your care of your parents realistic considering your other obligations such that your parents don’t become a burden. I have noticed that such folks tend to not have really understood what parents have given to them.

  • If you find yourself in a position where you'll be taking care of your parents in the next five to 10 years, get this book IMMEDIATELY. I'm very glad I went through this book, parts of it, with my father before he passed..

  • It was an easy and quick read but did not provide anything new that I did not already know. My takeaway from it is "plan and prepare," that's all. It is not a "must have" book. Time is better spent looking at newsworthy artcles on the topic.

  • I already had the book. I bought it for my daughter-in-law because it should help her.

  • Excellent book with great guidance. Gentle and sweet presentation of Life's Hard Questions.

  • Have not finished it as yet but appears to have the information I was looking for. Very good suggestions throughout the book!

  • This book is more helpful for people dealing with family issues when trying to plan long-term care. It was not very helpful for me as I had gained similar information already from other books that also including practical information about planning long-term care. It really is just a list of questions with a brief intro to each topic. Given the inexpensive price, I do not regret buying it, but I only got one or two ideas from it.

  • Susan Piver provides a great service to all of us--especially Baby Boomers who now must face life's great challenge: the death of parents--and eventually ourselves.

    Piver's previous books seem like a natural lead-in to this her newest book. She shows us how to face the facts of life--and death--with integrity and wisdom.

    An important book to have--and share with friends and family.
