[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My MIL is 90+ and we are doing all of the care for her. She is relatively healthy, but she can’t drive anymore and can’t manage her finances so we have to oversee her purchases and pay her bills. [b] We have teens and I wish that this was happening when we had toddlers or preschoolers. [/b]My teenagers have homework, sports, test prep, etc so they aren’t free to go to MIL’s each weekend with us to handle the things she needs each week. If they were toddlers, I would load them in the car to go visit and at least we would all be together. As it stands, my kids will be leaving for college and I feel every hour that I miss. [/quote] - Said by someone who has clearly forgotten what it’s like to care for toddlers. I know your situation sucks, but it would have been much, much worse if this had happened when your children were toddlers. You actually got a (small) blessing that this happened when your children are mostly independent. [/quote]
