How to take care of my father in long run, my mother passed away last year. Me and my sister both are married and our dad stays with me and my wife. Both me and my sister, as his children, as concerned about his well being. Has anyone been in this situation before?

You do not need to give any special treatment.
Just sit with him. Spend time with time.Speak to him. Make him like your friend. Thats all needed.

I meant spend time with him. It is a typing mistake.

Take care of your parents the same way your parents used to take care of you, Spend time with him, listen to him, take care of his health. If he is undergoing any medications, please remind him time to time.. Please be there for him when he needs you and spend quality time together .

Is this some sort of dark humour?

I think u love him and spend time with him. Because we will old after 15 years to 20 years. Same situation happened with us

I have had a career gap for a decade caring for my bed ridden parents. The world including family shut it's doors on me. Dark times took over once I lost them both. But you know what kept me going? The fact that I could care for my folks till they took their last breath in my arms. Keep going mate. Your dad appreciates all you do. You will see how this will pass and be blessed ahead.

If he's physically fit, I mean if he can walk, enroll him in some chess club, library club keep him busy in activity, etc. Don't expect anything from your sisters, He is a man. Being a man, you have to take care.

I give massive kudos to all the parents out there juggling work and home life. But it’s starting to feel like I pulled the short stick by not having a kid. Really struggling to pick up all of the slack from all of the colleagues that do have kids and feel like the expectation is that parents should turn off while the rest are working from 7am - 2am everyday to make up for it.

I got into a small argument with my bf about our future and he said something along the lines that he thinks I don’t want this instead I want to want this. We have resolved the core issue which was mainly a misunderstanding but thinking back at it I think he’s right. I do very often feel like i want to want this because he loves me so much but I am not sure I actually want this …

So I used to work for this shady Series A funded startup in Mumbai. Our CEO was a drug addict who funnelled money back to a lobbyist on the VC side. They paid INR 1.2 Crores for their logo to a "creative agency", just one of the many dodgy expenses they made including multiple so-called official trips to exotic locations like Hawaii. Till date their SAAS product has not found a single buyer. The CEO's girlfriend was the Sales Director whose job was to wear skimpy dresses for business meetings.

5+ years of full-time job as developer and still waiting to reverse a LinkedList at work.

Since there is a heavy impetus on solving Tree, LinkedList, and Graph problems for tech interviews, it can naturally make freshers believe that these concepts will be used in day-to-day life at work. In reality, most of these DSA concepts are already implemented in some libraries our code uses and we rarely have to code such Algorithms by hand.
