I just bought a house from a childless woman (widow) who recently entered a nursing home.

It was interesting—the house was sold by her 4 nephews (actually husbands of her nieces)—and no one cared about her furniture or her things so basically my husband and I got to keep all the furniture and whatever belongings we wanted.

Made me think about what it would be like to be childless at the end of life. . .

Kind of funny—she was the original owner of a 4 bedroom house built in 1975 and so my 4 kids will be the first kids to ever live in these 35 yr old bedrooms!

I volunteer at an assisted living home for Seniors..I see people in their that gave everything to there kids, yet the Kids don’t bother to come and see them?

Many people stick there ageing parents in nursing homes, waiting for them to die, so they can inherit the parents estate....

I see the next generation even being worse and cruel to there parents once they become a burden in age.

How can the *Entitlement Generation* know compassion anyway’s.

Careful, the furniture may be feline urine tainted.
