[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving parents into a house with your kids is a disaster. It’s exhausting and steals so much time from your spouse and children.

They should move to continuous care facilities where they can live independently and have their own identity and friends.

Reclaim your life and enable your dad to have one of his own,[/quote]

“Steals so much time.”

Wow. That’s really dehumanizing.  An aging person’s needs reduced to “theft.”

“They should move.”

No they shouldn’t. They should have the money to stay home with full time live in care and attention. But almost nobody can afford that. Just like the vast majority of older people can’t afford to just move to a “continuous care facility.”

There’s no one size fits all solution to these situations, least of all a glib dismissal of the elderly as not even worthy of human dignity.

Sorry you did not save and now you will be a burden to your children.

Yes, if you can’t be a full adult with your own life and your own living arrangements (unless you are disabled) you are irresponsible. You are a burden and you are stealing precious moments children should spend with their parent.

You are selfish and irresponsible.

Get a life and visit with your family once a week or once a month but don’t live with them.[/quote]
