[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is why old people in America get stuck in nursing homes. We no longer value family. OP is upset that husband is “choosing” this party of their daughter’s game? The teenager does not want to go? My oldest son is 17 and our two youngest are 6 and 7. The 17 year old goes to the younger kids parties be it his siblings or younger family members. He does not complain. Is he happy to go? No… does he deal with it? Yes… it’s about making memories and connections. The day is not about OP’s daughter and her feelings. She can put that aside along with her enjoyment for a couple of hours. She can help out for a couple of hours. [/quote]

Do you work? You sound like my MIL who claims people are trying to put her away when assisted living is brought up.  Older people should go to assisted living or nursing homes if they level of care they need is more than the family can provide. Like if they need someone around all day and advanced medical needs and the adult children have jobs.

I would not make my teens go to this party.  I’m from a big family where everyone has to go to everything and it did not make us closer as adults.   [/quote]
