Would you help financially your parents if you think they do need the money to cover for something important?

And you dont mind helping them the times necessary, because they are your parents and the money they have are not enough to cover for certain stuff your parents need?

In this case medical stuff. I mean you are not millionaire and you also have your own expenses at your own house, but you at least help your parents in something.

I dont want to judge but in my opinion I believe my cousins disregard her own mother. I have an aunt who is 82 years old. At this moment she uses a wheel chair because she for the last like 5 years she had a knee issue that now doe snot allow them to stand up and walk normally due to the lee pain mainly. Like 5 years ago she was not as worse as now but still she has that problem. She has no cartilague anymore in one of her knees. She can walk with a walker but super slowly as the pain is always there. For taht limited movility now she can't do many things she could do like 5 years ago. Now when she goes out to public places or out to vacations in public (restaurants, etc) she has to wear disposable underwear cause going to the bathroom a wheel chair is tricky in public areas that are not her own home is tricky cause she need to sit in a high toilet where she does not need to bend her knees so much and toilets everywhere are not made like that. My aunt has a husband who retired during the pandemic but also now he is the one who takes cares of his wife. My aunt husband do drive and they have a car. But also getting her on the car it is all a process to put her and make her seat on the car seat. My aunt still is sane but physically her biggest problem is the knee now. According to the doctors her knee problem does nto have a solution anymore, so she has to live with the pain and as the years goes by the knee will deteriorate more. I mean she takes pills and medicine to try to relieve the pain but that is only she is able to do now. She had the opportunity many years ago to be operated but she..

did not want, cause the healing process was painful and loong. So instead of being operated she got special inyection shots on her knee in order to reduce swelling and try to fix the problem but they did not work as she would had expected so icne that did not work she was told only surgery is the solution and put a metalic plate on her knee to replace the natural one but also due to her age back then 75 years old, surgery was risky so another reason she did not want to be operated, and now she

has to live with the pain and her limited movility. My aunts daughter works for a public hospital and an appoitnment can be given like for in 7 mos or more and it is for free. Her children never thought of paying a good private consultation (and the appointmets are right away) many years ago when her problem was not that bad, because it is expensive and they rely on the public health system where an appointment can be given like in 7 mos or even more but it is free. .
