I was thinking that, too. Maybe MIL had OP's DH when she was 40 and OP had his oldest when he was 40? But realistically the kids have got to be approaching middle school if not already in middle school.

Two of my grandparents were dying when I was in 5th/6th grades and I do remember my either my father or mother being extremely preoccupied with their last year of life. I do remember missing them because they were so busy dealing with the doctors and healthcare and hospitals. But it never once occurred to me to complain. Even at that age I understood what was going on. [/quote]

My mom moved out of state for six months to take care of my dying grandmother when I had just started high school.  I missed her, and I also felt sorry for her because it was a very difficult time.  But I mostly remember that I admired her for doing that for her mother.  And I admired my Dad for stepping up and doing everything to care for me and my siblings while she was away.  I don’t recall ever hearing him complain.  I did and still do think my parents are amazing.[/quote]
