r/AgingParents is a subreddit with 79k members. The most common kinds of discussions are advice requests and pain & anger, and the community frequently discusses aging, parent, frustrating, struggling, and tired, and they frequently recommend/review adult diapers, cell phone, and mascara.
We are a community of adult children dealing with our aging parents. Asking questions and venting are encouraged but discussions about why you don't want to care for a parent and app/product recommendations are off-topic here.

Pain & Anger
: "Today I saw my terminally ill Dad 'fight against the failing of the light'. It was emotional violence and loving anguish at the same time. There's not but a couple days left. I'm having a bunch of feelings, and I don't know where to put them all. That is all, just venting to the void."
