[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] This is me, except my parents are 71, and still tottering about. I am actually considering returning home to take care of them for their end of life, providing my teens launch successfully… [b]Ideally, my parents would last a few more years by themselves[/b], my teens would gain entrance to good unis in the country next door, so they wouldn’t be too far away from my watchful eye, and everything would dovetail. My worst nightmare is my parents popping off without warning. I can’t cross the Atlantic in anything less than a dozen hours, from the time I get my tickets to the time I land. I’m sorry for your losses, OP. It’s a trauma we lived through when my BIL and FIL passed away and we could not say goodbye. My husband and I will feel eternally guilty about that. But at the end of the day, you have the right and duty to create the life you want! You are NOT selfish. You did your best. [/quote] Omg they are only 71![/quote]
