[quote=Anonymous] OP - You have gotten very good advice. Start with the transportation issue and train her on the best option. You can also talk budget to her about what activities she can afford to go to. Your life will only get busier and there is no need to put yourself under stress when your mothers is in good health, working and active. The time for stress will be later. Question has she ever offered to pay a friend for a ride as that might be one option if it was a regular activity. You need to set boundaries now and learn the words, “No I am not available.” Without guilt. Do your research and find her a reliable handyman who could be set up to do some things on a cyclical basis to be sure the house keeps running. Maybe you and DH could offer to pay for certain services such as getting her on a contact with a company for heating/AC check twice a year and some also do plumbing services. [/quote]
