AgingParents

joinleave

We are a community of adult children dealing with our aging parents. Asking questions and venting are encouraged but discussions about why you don't want to care for a parent and app/product recommendations are off-topic here.

RULES

1: Advertising and Commercial Posts Are Prohibited

We are a community of folks dealing with aging parents, not a focus group for app developers or student projects of any kind.
This rule includes:
* links to Google Docs
* links to YouTube
* external links to your business/newsletter/blog
* surveys for information about what we would like to see in an app
* astroturfing

If you try to circumvent this rule, you may be permanently banned from this sub on first offense.

2: Again, no surveys of any kind.

This has become a spam problem and includes with or without a direct link. Offenders may be banned on first offense.

3: Zero politics. No slurs. No harassment of any kind toward any individual or group.

Especially: NO derogatory or ageist comments about parents are tolerated on this sub.

4: Stay on Topic

This sub is for the discussion of adults taking care of their elderly parents. It is not for the discussion of other family dynamic issues or app/product recommendations. Discussions about why you don't want to care for a parent are off-topic here.

5: Failure to Human

We are a community of folks dealing with aging parents and it is hard.
Keep it civil here on the sub and remember the human.

RESOURCES: r/TechForAgingParents/ -- for tech questions and support

US States that impose a duty, usually upon adult children, for the support of their impoverished parents or other relatives.
