[quote=Anonymous]My 92-year old father lives with mom. Mom is out and about and has friends, goes to museums--she's been so cooped up since COVID (a miracle they both survived), that now she just can't stay home. Dad, though--never liked to travel, never liked to go anywhere. They're in DC and I remember trying to get Dad to Baltimore to see some friends of his--no. Now it's worse. He's home, reading, watching sports. He wants me--the local child--to visit all the time. I go by at lunchtime (I work full-time) and sometimes on weekends, but I've got kids and a husband. I feel guilty no matter who I'm with (or not with). Question: How much time "should" I spend with Dad? Not to mention Mom. My far-flung siblings across the country are supportive but far away. "Be grateful they're alive," they say. I am. But i've got a life, too. [/quote]
