After my parents got over their pride, they finally did with my brother. Important thing was communication and establishing they are grandparents, not parents to their children nor grandchildren.

You think that but older folks have their own way of doing things and you WILL hear about it. Emphatically. They are used to doing things THEIR way. And you WILL hear about it.

Preach. My MIL thought she had the run of the house. I had to put her in her place and my wife thought I was too mean. Nope. She needed to learn that she did not run my household.

This is why a MIL suite exists. They live with you but not WITH you

I wish I could. Or at least have them closer. They help a lot with the kids while my wife and I work.

Don't have that luxury.

My dad passed on years ago. I've offered to let my mom move in with me repeatedly but she refuses. She doesn't want to be a burden and she doesn't want to be in our business.

My mil lives with us. We built her an apartment on our house. The only thing we share is the laundry room. She’s had a rough few years health wise and needs the help. She doesn’t have anyone else so it made sense.

I’d move mine in if needed, their so low key and low maintenance.
I’d burn the house down before we moved in my M/FIL.

Dang. I hope you have siblings.

Probably won’t. Neither of my parents were very nurturing growing up. What I’ve done and become is bc of me. And we raised our children without grand parent help. I would help them, but they’d have to buy into a retirement community if they could no longer live in their home. I’ve raised my children and am enjoying my grandchildren. I’m not becoming a caregiver when I barely had one. Im tired too and am living my life now.

My dad just retired so my parents are moving in with me now. I’m a single dad so my mom can help me out with my kids and with some of the bills.

For what my parents have done for me over the years feeding me, clothing me, giving me shelter, and dealing with my stupid arse, if they were in a situation where they would have to live with me, I would say yes without mother fricking hesitation. I don't care about the circumstances, they deserve me returning the favor. I would do whatever I can to make it work. They're my parents.

My mother lived with us when she passed away (in her suite) surrounded by family. I helped the funeral folks carry her out to transport.

My family consolidated over 20 years ago in order to take care of my grandfather. Moving to another state was difficult for him. I decided to keep my parents in their own home no matter what. After my grandfather died I stayed to look after my parents. They are in their early 80s and still do a lot for themselves but need help often enough that maintaining a separate residence is not practical. Most older people cherish their independence so that may be why yours are reluctant.

Financially poor or poor health?
Posted on 4/26/24 at 11:52 pm to fareplay
No, but I moved back in with my parents.

We’re on the verge of my MIL moving in with us- not looking forward to it, but it is what it is. She’s going to have to reign in her QVC habit, but I don’t think that will take very long, as we have nowhere to put stuff, and all she’ll have is her room to put things.

You won’t need a snoo if your parents (or her parents) move in

I plan to send them adrift on a piece of ice when the time comes
