I mean, a few hours a week is fine, even good for elderly parents because babies lighten spirits and all, but any more than that is just not right to me. It's too much to expect.

Nonsense, that's what they're there for. They've got to earn their keep like the rest of us. Plus it helps them to keep mind and body sharp. Also, who're you gonna trust more - your mum or Mrs Chu?
