[quote=Anonymous]PP 20:00. Balancing elder care is rough to grueling. My dad lived the last four years of his life in skilled nursing after getting diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 78. I visited during the DC school days when I could and tried to be back to run carpool and sports practices. My mom expected that I’d visit more often since I was “just a SAHM.” I was always disappointing my mom to the point where I pulled back and stopped visiting. Then, I returned to work! Even though my DC were older when all above was going on, I still had 3 at home who were learning to drive, looking at colleges, playing sports and on still in ES. So not little kids but I didn’t want to give all my time to my parents when my DC needed me. [/quote]
