[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Assisted living is extremely expensive-- more expensive than private school-- especially as they get more feeble and will need higher levels of services.  Will you be able to keep them there for the next 5 - 10 years?

Do they understand the sacrifice you would be making to help them?  Do they really want you to? [/quote]

This was my question too.  Do they want you to do this, knowing that you won't be able to send your kids to the same school they sent their kids to as a result?[/quote]

OP here. [b]We haven't really laid it out to them in those terms, although it is what it comes down to.  They are VERY VERY distraught and upset to be in this position of needing help and feel a lot of shame.  We are trying really hard to keep everyones dignity in place and put no guilt trips on anyone. [/b]The ironic part of life is I was raised by a single mom and always assumed I would take care of her in her old age however she a.) lives in ohio in a paid off (extremely modest) house b.) was a teacher for 36 years and has a pension c.) bought long term care insurance over 20 years ago.  Just goes to show you that the "rich" side of the family may not always be the ones you don't have to worry about!! [/quote]
How classy for you OP -- very nice![/quote]
