[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They may have trouble accepting when they need to downgrade - whether that's a one bedroom in a senior community or a bedroom/bathroom in your house. [/quote]

DH would probably host his dad, but there is no way he will live with his mother under one roof. He is a good son and he is able to be that way because he knows how to manage the relationship.

I do think the 1 BR in a senior community may be a point of conflict. I can't see my MIL going for that. [/quote]

But she’ll have to, because that’s what they can afford. Your family shouldn’t sacrifice your own financial security (and your own retirement) so they can continue to live beyond their means. Why should you bankroll their luxurious lifestyle at your own expense? Your MIL is going to have to “go for that.” It’s it like they won’t have a roof over their head or their basic needs met if you don’t support them.

Of course, if they need other supports (like caregivers, etc.) that’s a different story, and a tough one. But there gave to be some boundaries.[/quote]
