I don't ever want to be that burden to my children either. I don't know how people lose their way and become so dependant, I think it has to do with loneliness and fear - but I hope that if I'm lucky enough to grow old, I will remember this and always be independent, till the day I die.Karen thisoldhouse2.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03302171590212119499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-66096935149707542032011-01-30T02:26:29.688-05:002011-01-30T02:26:29.688-05:00I am absolutely with you on this one.

As they see how NUTS my dad, their grandfather, makes me, they will never want to have to deal with a parent like that! <br /><br />~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~<br />Karen and Steve<br />(Our Blog) RVing: Small House...

Dad continues to live alone with support from me and caregivers. Living with my husband & I is not an option. 725 sq ft house...I think it's wonderful you wrote that to your daughters.

Next year, when she is working and making a fortune....she will support me and I will contribute the money I make to my retirement fund. After ten years we will reassess our arraingment. It sounds like she wants to stay on here and live her own life while I live here and live mine.<br />If it doesn't work out then I go to plan B. the RV or hippie wagon route.claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16572555442321120647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5818397854598010989.post-80280218628281125332011-01-29T19:58:28.604-05:002011-01-29T19:58:28.604-05:00Oh wow...

Just a look from her and I feel Sooooo judged, plus, with my attitude she would probably toss me out into a snow bank when winter came around. I would rather buy a VW bus or an old 1960's camper trailer and live in it!! Seriously.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
