[quote=Anonymous]If my mom had to move in with me at 75, she'd probably be pretty bummed about it - even though we are basically best friends. She is now 81 and still lives her normal life in her house with her dogs and my father. Perhaps she is upset or sad that this is where she is in life, and dealing with her mortality. I agree with the poster who said to tell her how much you enjoy having her, not make her feel like you NEED a thank you. That's completely the wrong way to approach it, especially since you acknowledge she did alot for you when you were a kid. The role reversal from care taker to being cared for is very hard. Give her some grace.[/quote]
