[quote=Anonymous]They still live in the house they bought when I was 13. I am now in my late 30s.

I do wish they would downsize. While it's a sizeable house, it's not so much the issue as that they are now hitting 70 I have noticed they don't quite see the maintenance and upkeep needs they once did, so little things are starting to slide, both in the yard and inside. It all does eventually get taken care of, but usually after some reminders. They also have a cleaner who's come for the last 30 years and she has certainly declined in the quality of her work but they refuse to let her go (understandably). I know things would be much easier if they moved to this particular townhouse community nearby (quite large and very well built townhouses, they have good friends who live there, and it's as maintenance free as you can get while still owning a property).

They will move, eventually, but probably not for another five or so years. Will I be sad when the house is sold? Not really. It was a great family home but life goes on.
