[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need to put on your own oxygen mask first. You raised your kids. Do you have an expectation that they’ll live near you for the eventuality that you’ll need to be taken care of? I’d bet that answer is no. For some reason [b]our parents seem[/b] to have this sense of entitlement and expectation that [b]we[/b] exist only to make sure their needs are met as they age. It’s incredibly selfish. I’m living this now so I feel as though I have the right to this opinion. There is no planning on their part and they refuse to make changes that would make their own lives easier so it falls on us. I’d suggest if you’re planning a move to do it sooner than later because if you’re still in the local area when they start needing massive services you may be stuck, like many of us are. Go live your life![/quote] Fixed that for you. [/quote]
