I DO NOT understand how agreeing with them on everything just beacuse they're old constitutes RESPECT.  Don't you think it should be the other way around? It is called "Bollywhood" symdrome, too much irrational emotion, less reality. Just beacuse they're old would you NOT held them responsible if they commit a crime, or you just let them go beacause they have grey hairs? Aren't we ruled and exploited by people with grey hairs everyday from politicians to goverment workers.

I think "money" is a key factor and I agree with all of you, but how about if they're too greedy? The neighbour has aquired 5 land and 3 more houses and you're told that we'll have to catch up with them. Even after all the finiancial support you've given to them, they now expects you to land on the moon since some guys did it. They would not quit, nudge nor listen to you when you try to calm them down, instead you get yelled at everytime you call home these days. That's my case. How do I keep up with their never ending impossible demands, I'm running low and dry?
