In this episode of The Asian Soup Podcast, Rox and Jules chat about facing the realities of their parents getting older and older. They revisit their childhood and how their parents dealt with their own ageing parents (our grandparents). It’s only human that we all get older, now we’re also in our mid-30s. What do we foresee for any upcoming responsibilities that we might have in the future with our parents? Is there anything that we already need to deal with? Are there any Asian Australian cultural expectations of filial piety that we have? Everyone’s family situations are different, and how we take care of our ageing parents will also differ. A bit of a more personal take on family and what’s to come. Hopefully, you enjoy and can relate to some of the things we share in this episode.
