[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m 59 now, taking care of my mom 89. She’s still in good health, mentally there. I’m just sick of her being in my house, I know this sounds terrible. My culture you don’t put parents in a nursing home, she/we can’t afford one either. No other siblings to help care for her. Just venting.[/quote] It is tough, but you need to give yourself some space. My mother used to get offended that I did not wish to live with them in the same house. As soon as they moved into the apartment I bought them, she was happier because she did not have to share a kitchen. My Dad is 92 and my mother is 87. They live about 5 minutes away from me, still take good care of themselves. I check on them as needed and go there to play cards and eat with them on the weekend. I think none of us would be as happy if we live in the same house. [/quote]
