[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 70 and I agree with your mom.

I run the dogs, muck out the stables, and ride my horse 6 days a week and I will do a swan dive off a cliff into the ocean before I'll go to a nursing home.[/quote]

So what's your plan to not F over your kids when you get older and can't live independently anymore? Or do you not care about them?[/quote]

This.
I’d love to know too.

Because I don’t actually think most adult children will feel ok about leaving a mom who can’t walk, bathe herself, change herself all alone in her home to just hope for the best. [/quote]

100% agree.  I think old people who refuse help are really selfish.  Maybe because they don’t care about their kids, they don’t expect their kids to care about them. . . It just doesn’t work that way.  I still care about my narcissistic selfish stubborn mother.  But the fact is she will probably break a hip and die in slow agony of dehydration and I will have to feel guilty about it.[/quote]
