[quote=Anonymous]I think trying to “make” a parent do anything is a recipe for failure. He raised you. Do you think he now feels like it’s right for you to boss him around? No. Put yourself in his shoes and imagine your kids doing that to you. You wouldn’t like it and, at a minimum, you would resist. Maybe try to meet him where he is and see what his interests are and what he does and doesn’t want to do. Then do those things and enjoy him while he’s still here.[/quote]
