[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am sorry. I am in a similar situation with my parents. Their judgement of financial risk versus value of caregiving/ support is definitely skewed. I think it part of the impaired decision making that often comes with age. My parents are also watching tv news all day everyday, so all conversations are about politics. Fortunately they are liberal, but the extreme talking points on that side are tiring when it is all they can talk about. I have started giving them assignments and scheduling what I will be doing when I am there helping. This structure is helping some. At least I feel I am being productive. My SN kids are also seeing that they can help with stuff like yard work, so there is value in modeling that we help our loved ones. Some jobs though I am just insisting we have to hire help.[/quote] OP here. This is a good idea! Thanks.[/quote]
