[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Guess what, gramma? It was your work to do. Kids did not 'help' you accumulate all that crap, you did.

You're SUPPOSED to take care of this stuff so they don't have to do it when you die.

Oh and stop buying their plane tickets if you're gonna bitch about it later.

Harsh, but true.[/quote]

I am so glad that I never have felt that way about any aging person in our family. Beyond harsh. [/quote]

I am the poster who said "harsh, but true."

I would never have expressed it the way PP did, not even if my loved one was not present. But the point does remain -- all of the items you collected are yours, and it is not someone else's job to manage them for you. That is what being an adult is all about. It's what we teach our kids, too -- if you make a mess, you clean it up. If you want a pet, you will have to take care of it. This is just on a bigger scale.

And I've never expected anyone else to praise me or be grateful to me for taking care of my own things as an adult.

That being said, I loved my parents. I always pitched in. I did not remonstrate them for setting me up for the monumental task of cleaning up after them, when it was a houseful of items that could have served 4 families, if it were not all moldy and mildewed.

But that doesn't mean I should have had to do it.[/quote]
