[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m a little astounded people are giving up on their parents in their 70s. That’s so young! We took my parents to Alaska when they were 88 and Costa Rica two years before that. It’s great because if one of the kids wants to hang back, they can hang with them. And [b]I always put a kid in their room[/b] so we aren’t too crowded. And the kids really get a lot out of it—they love to show things to their grandparents and also are really considerate about things like helping them on stairs, etc. They are 95 now and my kids are so sad they can’t travel anymore. Anyway, I think it just takes a little adjustment of expecatations and then it can really work great! [/quote] WOW! There is no way anyone of the elderly in our family would want to spend all day AND night with the kids in our family. Their room is their space for quiet time and kids are not allowed in them at all. [/quote]
