[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You guys are scaring the pants off of me. I'm 42 and the past few years have been so stressful between managing young kids, careers, constant illnesses, extended family woes, trying to find time for DH and I to take care of ourselves too...maybe it's just life? I hate to think about the most miserable years still being ahead of me.[/quote] Don't be scared, but be prepared. My biggest mistake was being too hands on. If your parents have money or you have money and they become difficult and agitated, outsource like crazy. I waited too long to do this. If there weren't things like temper tantrums, extreme hostility and all of that, I would have found it more manageable. Just have a plan of action and step back. My sister was obsessed with a good inheritance. That does not matter if you have a nervous breakdown and become physically ill from the stress. She never helped much so for her it was just about a jackpot without any work. [/quote]
