[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am going through this exact thing right now with my (now) one living parent.  It’s so hard to balance all the emotions, including the bitterness over their bad choices.  We, too, are learning from it and will not put our kids through that. So hang in there OP.[/quote]

What bad choices?[/quote]

We added it up recently and in the last 18 months my parents who refused to leave their home and home town have requested and required 14 visits by me and my siblings. Each visit means a plane ticket and rental car. You do the math. This is a very selfish choice. We have used up our leave and then some from our jobs. I have gone to the home town to make them a holiday dinner and left my family to fend for themselves etc. [/quote]

Your parents asking for company and support from their kids is a bad choice?[/quote]

NP. Bless your heart, silly, silly PP. a visit once in a while is okay. A crisis once a month that requires a plane ticket and time away from nuclear family is absolutely not okay. Common sense for functional adults. [/quote]
My guess? The PP prior to you is blonde with a ponytail, is a trophy wife who doesn’t have to work[/quote]
