[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not a child's job to look after a parent until the child is fully grown and the adult is elderly[/quote]

That is the scenario described by OP! [/quote]

"Retired" doesn't mean dependent or needy. My father was active and able to prep for such events until he was 75 and was diagnosed with a serious illness.

OP has not explained that she is disabled or frail in any way. Indeed, just saying "retired" is kind of a give-away that she's full of self-pity but doesn't actually want to disclose that she's perfectly able to care for herself.[/quote]

Yes, and it sounds kind of pathetic and petty. My 78 year old retired parents are currently up skiing in VT with friends, I haven't asked them if they are prepared for the storm because that would be a pedantic and weird thing to ask capable adults. I think the kind of parent posting on a public forum from a comfortable home in NoVa about perceived slights for not being fawned over for something like this is a different type though and it has little to do with their physical state.
