Should we automatically care for our parents in old age?

Asked by partyparty (9162points) June 1st, 2010

Our parents cared for us as children and when we were growing up. Should we automatically care for our parents when they are growing old?
Is it acceptable to put them into the care system? Under what circumstances?
If you have been in this situation how did you cope? What did you do? Did it work out successfully?
