Can you give some input about persons, especially females, born in '60's and '70'? Concerns habits and traits?
For example, females tend to take less responsibility as far as cooking and housekeeping. Also, I know of instances where they could entertain (holidays, etc.) their parents but do not. Of course the bottom line is if they are married and both spouses happy, that is what counts. Why do they seem to be so unconcerned at times about their parents and their happiness?

I was born "74" my husband and 2 boys moved in w/my father 3yrs ago to help with cooking, cleaning and family entertaining. If we hadn't he would be living alone. He's only in his mid 50's but he could use a hand and the company. I really don't think its a generation thing.

I agree with the first answer. It seems to me to be more of a cultural thing than generational. It all depends on how you were raised to view elderly people in your family. It seems that many minorities have it set to where the elderly in the family are checked up on, moved into the home or helped out in other ways. I think that trying to say "kids these days don't know how to take care of the older adults" is just ridiculous. Yes feminism has changed some things, but these are all influenced from other areas as well.
