[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]while I pretty much agree with everything you wrote here, you could have been a bit more diplomatic in your first sentence. that was pretty insensitive to OP.[/quote]

I'm not the previous poster, but I don't think it was insensitive to say that at all. I don't think parents put enough focus on how their financial decisions today will impact their children during the parents' golden years. In my circle of friends, there are a few thirty-something's that are starting to feel the financial pain of having to help their parents.  One situation is not looking pretty, and I can't imagine this is what the parent would have wanted for her child. Mom has health issues, no savings nor retirement plan. All the siblings are living hand to mouth, so it up to the only one who actually supports herself to support everyone, and she just doesn't  make enough to do that[/quote]

My mother isn't even talking to me (or her only grandchild) because I didn't see her enough $ last year.  She has blamed what she did for me at several points in her life, my fault she didn't work full time, my fault she spent more on a three bedroom, etc.   I used to feel guilty, now I'm just angry and resentful.   She could be in good shape now, but for her bad decisions.    [/quote]
