[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am an only child. My parents are young - mid 60s - but they will move to VA in the next 5 years or so, ideally to a condo near a metro so they can be close enough to be active grandparents and also have some where they can stay independent for as long as possible. [/quote] Oh - and then they will live with us until they need serious nursing care. My husband agreed to this before we married. It was important that my husband was on board because my parents might need some financial help. I am the breadwinner though, so perhaps it's easier to ask him to make that kind of financial and emotional commitment. My husband's parents will move closer to his 2 sisters who are both in Northern California. When I think of them being old and being so far away, it makes me sad. I imagine he will have many years of flying to California 3-4 times a year instead of the 1 trip we make now. [/quote]
