We better have kids...

[tatsit]

You don’t know TS is working for Ministry of Birth? His KPI is to increase TFR.

No, most likely it's the minister for gaslight himself

Ts are ur children filial?

 

[Sen Sen]

Visited hospital last month, from the wards I see old people usually only their partner with them or they alone one.. rarely see younger ppl accompany the olds..

 

[soyabean89]

i doubt pappie will legalise euthanize ...why? if not how to milk ur medisave?

 

[coyote]

Nt sure the age of patient and what sort of meds taken.

Lets say 70+. The merdeka/pioneer gen doesnt have concept of exercise, weight loss, diet. Gen X and younger does, so i would think we r betta off. If any1 currently 50s and overweight, pls pls work on ur legs and remove excess body weight. Still got 10-20 years to avoid burdening the children/nurses.

Pill box (nt the machine gun posts) are available. what u need is a 4 box one (per day). Not sure got level 1/2 type meds. Painkillers? level 1 pain is paracetamol, level 2 is tramadol, then gotta feed another med to prevent nausea. idk gt lvl 3 against inflammation.

btw, if u watch Kdrama, Korea dispense meds by the consumption in clear plastic. So its like a.m. consume, 1 pack, p.m., night. Though i m nt sure abt chronic diseases or those > 30 days to 90 days.

Just take the meds, with label intact, ask helper to write in their language (dosage/frequency), pack 7 + 1 dose. Buy pill cutter also. Pack, take picture. Ask the pharmacist, "if overdose how"? As in ur case, if misjudged level, give level 2 instead of 1, how? Miss dose, do not "make up for missing dose".

Constipation meds, Sugary syrup, Sennosides(dark **** green tablet 2 at night) ,suppository (keep in fridge, put in butt), run. All cannot be used long term. If use long term, i can almost guarantee u, will need to take iron tablets/B12. i dun have a gd solution nor u shld take this as med advice. Poop is from fibre. Get rid/reduce fibre (nt more!). idk if still can eat eggs/meat, and if my theory is correct, eating eggs/meat ==> less poop but old pple baru think they always need to go (or full of crap!). Read up on MMC. Keep meals at least 4 hrs apart. Avoid calories in b/w meals, if stop MMC, + fibre somewhere in there, with fermentation, gas and bloat, stomach discomfort. A gd gauge to use the 3, is maybe like someone having the same diet/qty of food, if they go avg, once / day, then if 2 consecutive days patient neber go, then use.

Checking in hospital/long term nursing home, is not viable. The ratio is 1:8 or 1:4. Cost aside, if need to go, means need to go. Someone on the throne for 10-20 mins, + need to change. Besides, notice the gov encourage to recuperate at home?

TLDR; solution is nt to have kids, take care of urself, dont be too heavy/high BP, prioritise on ur legs, educate urself abt diet/exercise, maybe fasting (its best to fast when u dont have to).

All good advices. I am cutting down my food. More exercises. My friends were shocked to see how much I slimmed down. Will carry on.

Err... Your nick is... Hmm... Nvm. Just a nick.

Don't know what TS is driving at

Can't expect much from ts la...

He means need kids to tk care of us when old.
Otherwise doctor instructions too complicated to follow and private nurse too exp.

 

[kuma-mon]

Sorry to say, the strongest female nurse couldn't lift up my mother... Hiring nurse is very expensive in Singapore ... Helpers are cheaper but do you count on your helpers to remember what medicines your parents or yourself take when we are at age 65 or 75?

Agree with u on this
Thats why females should serve NS and become nurses
So that we have no problems lifting up the elderly people like your mother

Based on my diet plan, the top anti-inflammatory foods I regularly consume are:
---

1. Avocado

Rich in monounsaturated fats, vitamin E, and glutathione

Reduces CRP (C-reactive protein) levels

Excellent for gut and joint health

---

2. Tomato Paste / Sun-dried Tomatoes

High in lycopene, a potent anti-inflammatory antioxidant

Especially effective when cooked or concentrated (like in paste)

May reduce inflammation linked to metabolic syndrome

---

3. Psyllium Husk

Improves gut health, reduces intestinal inflammation, and enhances insulin sensitivity

Indirectly lowers systemic inflammation through better digestion

---

4. Chia Seeds (when included)

Loaded with omega-3 ALA, which directly reduces inflammation markers

Also provides fiber and polyphenols

---

5. Fatty Fish (e.g., Salmon, Dory, Prawns, Mussels)

High in omega-3 EPA & DHA

Clinically proven to lower IL-6, TNF-α, and CRP

Especially strong when replacing chicken or red meat

---

6. Turmeric (with Black Pepper)

Contains curcumin, a powerful anti-inflammatory compound

Enhanced absorption with black pepper’s piperine

---

7. Blackberries / Raspberries / Blueberries

Rich in anthocyanins, which combat oxidative stress

Shown to reduce inflammation in cardiovascular and metabolic diseases

---

8. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV)

May reduce post-meal glucose spikes and gut inflammation

Helps maintain blood sugar stability



Though my wife doesn't eat like me

Don't think I can follow diligently unless I have a wife like yours. It's a good list.

 

[I_am_bored]

I'm sure edmwers have lots of money to retire, more than they can spend in their life time hiring a helper and a private nurse simultaneously ...

Sorry to say, the strongest female nurse couldn't lift up my mother... Hiring nurse is very expensive in Singapore ... Helpers are cheaper but do you count on your helpers to remember what medicines your parents or yourself take when we are at age 65 or 75?

one eg.
3 levels of medications prescribed to prevent inflammation.

Level 1 Anti inflammation medication cause gastric, so doctor prescribed level 1 anti acid for level 1 anti inflammation med. In case level 1 anti acid not work, doctor prescribed level 2 anti acid, gaviscon as next level of protection.

If level 1 don't work, go
Level 2 anti inflammation drug and it caused nausea, so doctor prescribed level 2 anti vomit med.

If level 2 don't work, go
Level 3 anti inflammation drug caused nausea and shared the same anti vomit drug with level 2.

Doctor prescribed 3 levels of anti constipation medication
Level 1 is liquid
Level 2 is pills
Level 3 is physically applied to the butt...

Can we still follow such complication instructions when we are 65? How about 75?

Do we still have the same sane mind to decipher at 65 or 75? Or we expect the stay in helper to do that? If the stay in helper is not smart enough, we hire a stay in helper and a stay in nurse? Because the nurse probably couldn't lift us up when we are immobile at 65 or 75? How? Check ourselves into folks home as last resort? Then it only matters the children visit us at the home from time to time, so that those caretakers will not bully us when nobody's watching.

Disclaimer: just an opinion piece. Individuals are free to choose their ways of life.

hmm. kids also cant do all these when they have their own family and work. At most hire helper to help take care of the parents.

 

[PikaManiac]

Lol, filial piety is vastly overrated especially for the pre-boomer silent generation.

They just raise their kids to like 15 or 16, just throw them to survive but expect their kids to take care of them for life.

This bs expectation is creating so many sandwich group nowadays even their grandchildren are affected because this old people all no money.

Freaking useless tbh.

 

[kuma-mon]

Nowadays i see many boomer parents so entitled expect their kids to take care of them
But during young they bring so much trauma/hate to their kids

 

[coyote]

Char siew chewren how?

Yes. There's no guarantee in life. If you don't try, chance is zero. If you try and impart your good quality, chances are 70% good, 30% bad, I'm just guessing. I saw all those good friends with good qualities, their children all turned out good. I'm encouraged.

 

[PikaManiac]

I grew up being brainwashed by.my grandparents how much effort they put in to raise their kids.

But as I grew up and my parents told me the truth. I realised its mostly bs. For the most part, once my parents/uncle are at workable age they throw them to zi shen zi mien already then expect them.to be taken care of.

 

[Coffeelix]

never go NS? If the person don't balance himself, he is the hardest thing to lift up.

Fully agreed.
The weight of a patient that couldn’t stand on his own, is many times his actual weight.

Those who are care givers to our parents know of the hard ships ..
If only we have Euthanasia in our near future for ourselves..

Usually bbfa are caregivers
Those that married run away enjoying life
But boomer parents always scold bbfa why havent marry
Then who will take care of them??

 

[Coffeelix]

Have children or not is decided by nature one. Not some political chicken soup or motherhood statement. Human civilisation is primed for a major reset. Wait for WW3 aftermath and survive first then say. AMTF

I read of a few families that were childless but went against fate to adopt.

One family adopted their bro’s son n he didn’t survive his adopted mom.
Another didn’t survive both parents and died as teenager.

If fated in life with no kids, accept it and don’t go against it.

 

[ceestudent]

Don't worry. BBFA here will die because of stroke/heart attack/kidney failure first instead of old age.

 

[powerrr]

If life becomes like that, one day longer or shorter doesn’t matter much. For moi.
