[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]e.g. What was your curfew?[/quote]

Let's see.  Parents paid for college, I was responsible for my pin money.  No curfew in HS, so didn't even come up after college.  I moved home after graduation as I did not have anything lined up. It was 1986 and there was a recession.  I temped until I found something. I moved to DC as a result and have been here ever since.  I didn't pay rent but I saved quite a bit from the temping so I had some starting off money.  Nothing was tied to caring for grandchildren.  SInce they were not nearby, we saw them mainly on vacation and during a few holidays.  DH and I had children after my parents moved to coastal NC for retirement and we would never ever move there.

My sister lived at home for a few years after college, before moving to an apartment, no curfew for her either.  SHe saved while at home, so rent and other expenses would not be a shock.

I guess, if there were problems, we would have set up some house rules, but we were all respectful and treated each other like adults.  [/quote]

I will add that my Dad moved in with us last summer and is now receiving hospice care in our home, but I ask his primary caretaker.  He has 2-4 months.  [/quote]

Wishing you and your dad the best at this tough time, PP. I hope he has a peaceful transition when the time comes.[/quote]
