Where did I say that?
When I'm retired, I'll make plans to move closer to wherever my children are.
You don't get to force somebody with a busier life and more needs to do what you want.
Yeah, I don't understand the anger in those 2 posts. We 100% would move to be near grandkids (assuming we have them), ESPECIALLY with the knowledge of how much a helping hand can be. The challenge will be if they are scattered, but we'll figure it out. The one variable here is that where we live, there is likely a chance they'll end up in the area due to opportunities.

There's a certain sense of entitlement that some people that age develop. I can't visit my parents without them inserting their opinion on my marriage, career, health, why my in-laws are the way they are, and on and on.
I spend too much time fending off the overbearing aspect of their personalities to worry about all the stuff they've accumulated.
When they die, my brother and I will take what we want, then we'll invite the closest friends and family in to take what they want, then I'll hire an estate company to come in and just sell whatever is left for a little change.
Frankly, I'm a little worried about the house. 2 covered decks, a large shop, a hobby room, all added on since the house was bought. ZERO permits.
