Eh, but nowadays we’re “responsible” in a way that carries dark undertones.
Many US elderly aren’t embedded in multigenerational communities, but instead warehoused in nursing homes (where they aren’t in regular contact with their families & don’t have a clear role to play in society).
Hard to say whether this is an improvement over how things were 100 years ago. I do know that I’m personally afraid of ending up in a nursing home & plan to make arrangements to reduce the probability of such.
