[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Unless your children understand why the parent has huge boundaries with grandparent(s) what the learn is to ignore or abandon aging parents is "normal." I did. My mom hated my step grandmother who was paraplegic. She never helped in any way though living next door. One night Louise (sgm) called she had fallen trying to transfer to bed, aide was gone, could I come over to help. Mom hung up. Called no one. Mom died unvisited in a nursing home.[/quote] Part of parents modeling strong boundaries is to have those conversations. So sure, talk to the kids at an age-appropriate level and go from there.[/quote]
