[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 271096, member: 179"] Part of the big problem is driving. They have a cabin in 'the woods,' as they call it near Green Bay. It's about an hour and a half away on country back roads. H works nearly every day and we can't afford for him to take time off. father in law should NOT be driving, but he risks it every day. I can drive, but it's very frightening for me. I had an event last week where I had to drive up that way and nearly had a heart attack driving home in the dark. I like the idea of doing photography instead of shooting...just have to figure out how to get him up there. mother in law is very involved in several civic organizations in Milwaukee, which means she is gone for days at a time. She always lets me know when she is going to be gone so I can check up on father in law. Yesterday she said she didn't want me to get a job so I could watch him. Now I guess the next level is convincing her that she may need to curtail her activities to help out. Yesterday when I went over to chat with him, he's out in the garage waving and says, "Hey Deb! Don't turn on anything in the house. I'm working on the electricity." Oh, great. He's got wires everywhere, cutting here and there. He used to be an electrician, but when he gets in the middle of a project he makes silly mistakes these days (like shooting the guy in the foot). I could just see him electrocuting himself. Yeah, parenting a parent is not fun. Abbey [/QUOTE]
