[quote=Anonymous]They made it clear to us that being nearby is important as they age, that it is our responsibility to look after them, and that we should not move away until they are gone - - this is not normal. No reason you need to honor this. Just because *they* think it, and wish it, doesn't obligate. We would either ask them to relocate with us or make sure they had care in the form of assisted living or in-home aides. I don’t think they liked this answer -- what you can do is: know their finances. If they have expectations --- even if you aren't going to meet those expectations -- still, if they are going to talk about the future -with you in it- THEY need to share all financial info with you on an ongoing basis. Generally Op, love them. Ignore their unreasonable preferences. Let them get mad if they choose to. [/quote]
