[quote=Anonymous]I want to apologize for posting here since I am 37 but my husband I and my parents who are 64 are going through the same thing. We are taking care of my father on law who is 85 while juggling toddlers and we want to have a third. My husband's mother is in great health and will soon move on with another siblong--his parents are divorced. However, my FIL is newly blind and refuses help. We moved a mile away from him but we can't really have him over since he almost stepped on one of the kids. My parents are taking care of my grandparents who are on their 90s. Both have dementia and my grandmother is blind. I feel terrible that my parents just retired and have a wonderful pension that would allow them to travel but are withering away taking care of my grandparents. Like literally even though they are 64, they act like they are going to die tomorrow. It is hard to see and my dh and I are really talking and making plans for our old age so our kids don't have to go through this.[/quote]
