[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Second the book "Being Mortal." Also, remember that [b]your children are watching you and will learn from you[/b].[/quote] Yes, and to those with nasty, abusive parents please, please set boundaries while your children are watching. Too often on this board I have seen this used as a threat, as though we must do ourselves in even for an abusive parent so our kids will care for us. Teach your kids abuse is not OK and we set limits. Also, my own mother and father watched their parents take good care of grandparents and they still did little to nothing for their own parents. They watched, saw the burnout and misery and said "no thank you." Our kids need to see us balance it by also exercising self-care and when possible hiring help and case managers and nurses aides rather than doing ourselves in and being filled with resentment.[/quote]
