Papy boom

It's nice to get old, and I mean way after your 60's birthday when all is right. I mean, when you hear everything that is done for elderly, It's amazing. Suddenly those old things have more activities than I have. Everyday when I leave for work and drive through Alexanderplatz, there are buses waiting early morning to bring the grandparents anywhere in the country to join funny events. It's for the best, no problem with that. Unfortunatly, not everyone has this healthy condition and the question starts to be asked because there is hardly a solution : what are we supposed to do with your parents when they can't behave themselves ? It seems that no one wants to take care of them. Institutions are full booked, they even request a waiting list and the grandma or grandpa should not be too "wild". Parents do not want to have at home the old one until the end. I understand, they already had the children to raise, no need to keep on cleaning the shit out of your own parents. They're tired, they want to go on holiday, forget. Money's missing, private institutions can't accept the file, hospital reject when It is physically fine, sanatorium is temporary, so what ? whishing they die as soon as possible to free everyone, beginning by themselves ? sometimes when you see those vegetables, you just wish to die before loosing conscience of all this.
