[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Moving closer geographically may be easier for everyone in your elder years. Less distance makes eldercare easier.[/quote]

A child who moves far away from a parent fo get away from them doesn’t want to be responsible for the elder care of the parent they don’t want to be near. [/quote]

Nobody wants to take on that chore, but you should do it anyway to teach your children how to care for you in your elder years.[/quote]

I would never take on the care of my parents with the idea that my kids will then take care of me.  I don't want to put that on my kids.  [/quote]

Of course you don't want that heavy responsibility from your kids but seeing you care for yours can make them more empathetic towards you in future in other ways.[/quote]

There are other ways to teach empathy.  Just bc someone doesn't step in as unpaid hired help doesn't mean they aren't doing more things for their parents and maintaining the relationship.[/quote]
