My Mom has been retired for 24 yrs. My MIL for over 30 yrs. We're taking care of both of them now. They've had a lot of fun in their retirement. When do we get to have fun in our retirement? Will it ever happen? This seems to be a trend in our society now. Maybe they could start housing developments made for extended families that would have adult day care onsite so people could get respite. All single level homes, or homes that have bedrooms on the main floor for the seniors in the family. Any ideas?
It is the best advise I have ever received. I have my life back, I supervise mother's care, and I will be retiring in 28 weeks. I am going to have a retirement that I have earned without any guilt.
i never began drawing up a caregiver agreement till it was legally necessary . in hindsight one sis walked away with her prize of 9 k and another with the family home -- which i didnt want .. mom and i should have spent that s**t up on our comfort ..
