[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents tried to do this and kept saying they had the right to live out their days as they chose BUT like OP's - their 'independence' relied on me and siblings doing shopping, driving, errands. And it wasn't safe. They drove for way too long until accident (luckily just a collision) and not the 'what if you hit a child scenario I pleaded with them to consider w/near blindness and extreme hearing loss. 
Setting them up with a driver was declined. They did do peapod finally.
I had a friend who had gone through this w/her parents and she pushed and pushed them and they finally agreed to half time help that soon became full time-24 once my mom died.
It wasn't independent living-it depended on others propping up unsafe and unsustainable conditions. I pray I am not as selfish as them!! [/quote]

Let me guess, you are on their will and crying about helping them at the end of their life. I’d remove you and give your share to another sibling more helpful. [/quote]
