[QUOTE="MaryB, post: 281273, member: 390"] Hi, I've been a lurker on the board for a very long time. So, I know the story about your son. LOL...that's an introduction. My parents are 87(dad) and 83(mom). Dad does not want to go anywhere--stay at home is his motto unless one of his children wants to take him to garden seminars, etc. (mostly me) However, he enjoys being at home and visiting with his children (there are 8 of us living). That is what my dad enjoys the most as we're scattered all over the place. I can imagine the stress your sister is undertaking to care for an elderly parent. So far, my parents take care of each other but we're fast coming to the point where us siblings will have to step in. How about sending your sister to the beach (for stress relieve) and you staying with your dad for that time? Quality time, just you and him? I don't know the dynamics of your family but it's just a suggestion. Maybe even sending husband and DS with your sister? I know my dad would love it--spending time alone with one of his children. Just something to think about. MaryB [/QUOTE]
