[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If your husband is his only child, if he has no retirement savings and on top of that he was a "great dad" and your husband feels obligated towards him… you DO REALIZE he will end up living with you sooner or later right? I doubt your husband will accept to put his father in a nursing home in his condition (no money to pay for the best).

Anyway, it is just a matter of time for you… if he is really a good person and good with kids, you might as well take some advantage for this and use his for childcare now. Hopefully, you will at least get to know him better and maybe even like and truly "care for him" when the time he needs care come.

[b]And pray he doesn't go on living forever, being unable to care for himself (bathroom, food, left alone, etc) and with dementia[/b].

I am in this situation right now, and with an infant and preschooler to boot! But in all honesty, it has not been as tragic as I thought it would be. It just feels like a have another newborn or toddler most of the time. What does pisses me off (when I think about it) is the fact that my in law refused to come live near us or even with us when the healthy (physical and mental) was not a huge issues. It would have made the transition to me right now much easier for sure.

Anyway, not here nor there - but you should keep mind your likely future when making this decision now.

WTF  my mom is quickly entering this position and we are making some arrangements now as far as what to do and making a possible move. I would give my right arm for an easy decision and gladly go care for my mother instead of having her go to a nursing home. God help your relative if you are in that state of mind while caring for them.  :shock: [/quote]
