One of the few hangovers from my ethnic background that I think is actually a good thing and should be copied into western culture is the basic assumption that if you get old and useless your kids/family take you in and look after you no questions asked as a matter of course.
I hate seeing older patients on the wards go months without a visit/concern and then you ask and find they've got umpteen relatives who live near enough but are just wrapped up in their own stupid lives and nuclear families...
