[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't feel inclined to enable a parent to stay in a bad/inappropriate living situation. If they want to age in place - fine. But they need to be able to figure out how they are going to make that happen. Expecting their adult children to drop everything and rush to their side at a moment's notice, multiple times a week is too much. Even if you don't mind doing that what happens if you or one of your kids are sick? What if your car is in the shop? What if you have to travel out of town for business or want to take a vacation or just go away overnight with your spouse? You have to give yourself permission to say "no" to this kind of roller coaster. If your parent isn't capable of living independently then they need to move to a more suitable environment. Period.[/quote]
