[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry OP. I noticed a sinilar decline in my parents as my kids graduated HS. They went from being independent and pitching in on meals, errands, etc. when they visited to being dependent and unable to pitch in. I disagree with PPs that they’re doing this intentionally or demanding you coddle them. Sure, that’s possible but it’s more likely they’re declining mentally and physically. I’m now 5 years out from my kids’ HS graduation and looking into in-home caregivers because my parents have continued to decline. I also visit them more frequently and spend hours cooking for them while I’m there because my mother’s dementia has made cooking impossible for her. It’s a really tough time. I would throw every resource at the problem now (ex: order delivery even though it’s $$) because honestly this could be one of their last visits. [/quote]
