[quote=Anonymous]My dad, who saw his own mother suffer after having a stroke at age 80 and couldn’t walk or talk and lived in a nursing home, used to always say he never wanted to be a burden on his kids in old age and he would do as his mother did and live on a nursing home when the time came. But now he is 75 and in pretty good health but w some cognitive decline and is talking about (joking about) when he gets too old to care for himself and has to move in w us. I hope he’s actually just joking. I’d be happy for him to move into assisted living somewhere close by and I would go visit him often but i do not want to be a full time caregiver. I know it sounds awful and maybe I am really selfish but Im only 38 and I do not want to spend my 40s-50s caring for my elderly parents who have plenty of money to live in a nice assisted living facility.[/quote]
