It would always depend on the circumstances.
If the children have to work and are not able to care for the parents, or the incinvenience becomes to great, they will put them into a nursing home.
Some would try to care for them as long as they are able to.
I strongly believe, that if someone has to make this kind of decision, they should not let a false sense of obligation or gratitude get in the way of making the decision to put the parents/in-laws into a nursing home.
I as a loving parent, would NOT want my children to inconvenience themselves to the point where I become a burden and they start wishing I were dead.
That may sound cruel, but that is life. Love can turn into hate when the loved one becomes too much of a burden or inconvenience. I would NEVER want my children to feel guilty because they could not love me anymore.
My grandmother was visited regularly by her children and grandchildren. The nurses told us, she didn't really know WHO had been there, but she did know that SOMEONE had been there. It is very important not to lose contact, or just forget about them.

I just hope I could help you a bit. 🙂
I have to go to bed now. It's 1:26 here and I have to work tomorrow.
Have a nice evening and I'm sure you will make the right decision. :-x
