[quote=Anonymous]Y'all are being way too harsh on OP. There are lots of good reasons to help parents think through these issues. And given how many more living choices there are now than when OP's 80yo parents were younger, it seems reasonable to present them with information that lets them know they have some choices while they're still able to make those choices together. My parents just downsized and the key for them was they wanted to be in charge of the decision and do it together while they were both healthy (and make things eventually easier for the kids).

OP is right that it's emotionally hard for parents to hear this stuff from kids and might be easier to hear from a peer or a neutral third party. My own parents were heavily influenced by a number of their own peers making these downsizing choices. OP, I posted some resources earlier, and I think there are a LOT of informative sources out there to help with this. You may just need to do a lot of sifting on the front end. [/quote]
