[quote=Anonymous]Ok, I’m the poster whose dad literally won’t make himself a scrambled egg and would rather starve. My dad actually ended up hospitalized for dehydration and they noted he seemed malnourished. He hadn’t told any of that he has separated from his wife so we didn’t realize he was fending (or not fending) for himself. He is an alcoholic so that contributed to the dehydration.

It didn’t mean any of his daughters decided to move to his town to cook for him. We basically said we could help him with meal delivery. That’s it. And if he didn’t eat the meals, he might die alone. In our case, it scared him enough that he called his wife and begged to move back in with her. Also, if he can drive, he can eat out.

If one of us lived in town, we might have invited him to a meal once a week or even dropped off extra food once a week. But no way in heck would any of his three daughters be visiting him multiple times a week to be his short order cook and clean the pee off his toilet seat.[/quote]
