Agreed with the views. With regards to speaking up about the plight of the elderly expats (or migrants), one way of doing this is clearly letting the children know that a favor is being done by baby sitting. I feel most (not all) children (sons, daughters, d-i-l) take the baby sitting duty for granted. They need to be educated that things can't be taken for granted. It is not ok for them to return home to demand privacy, with no duty on their part. Whatever happened to filial piety?

Part of the blame for this situation also lies with elderly parents who readily oblige without clarifying or raising the downsides.
