My parents are in their late 80's
Dad is smart enough to have a will/living trust.
However they are determined to live in their house until they die.
We go over to their house a couple times a week and make dinner for them... recently mom asked "why don't you move in with us?"
I know some of you will think this is selfish/mean of me but sorry but no way... for one thing we have only been married for three years and just getting used to putting up with each other and setting up a home of our own... for another thing they are one step away from needing a full time nurse and neither the wife or I are trained for that.
Add to that they watch the news every night... I HATE watching the news!!! Plus this is the house I grew up in... moving back in would be borderline creepy.
I also have a nice home of my own in a neighborhood I like very much... so I suggested they could move in with us... they were not amused.
My older brother has been begging them to look into assisted living for years... but so far no go... we are also begging dad to give up driving... with the same response...
