re: Encouraging grandparents to move closer to grandkids or simplify. Anyone ever done this?

Yeah, I don't understand the anger in those 2 posts.

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.
