[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My parents were great. Returning that care in their old age was challenging and exhausting, but we couldn’t see not doing it, especially as they weren’t demanding. And the complaints on this forum remind me to appreciate my MIL, who does bring drama but has always been nice. Dealing with aging is especially hard when many in the dmv are transplants and parents aren’t local. [/quote] Agree. Money also has a lot to do with it. Many folks would probably like to bring their parents closer, but there is no way for them to finance it. I would have moved my mom closer, but understood that Medicaid was not portable across state lines. Fortunately we had a good spot for her with one sibling local. The second two hours away. We tagged team and I took on a lot of the paper work and other tasks I could handle over the phone. Again, fortunate that she had a good spot - non profit homes always seem much better.[/quote]
