[QUOTE="Lurker66, post: 2094833, member: 24459"] Even well meaning kids make bad decisions. My wifes grandmother has lived with us since 2000. My BIL/SIL took her in before we did. Their heart was in the right place, they have no kids and great jobs. They just couldnt deal with an old person or their needs. So we got her. My wifes Grandmother is ever so close to needing 24hr watching, something we cant provide. I will say that raising kids is alot easier. With kids each day bring more independence, while careing for the elderly is the complete opposite. We've made the commitment to let her live out her days in our home but i dont know if thats gonna happen. Id like to think your heart will guide you, but even you could encounter things beyound your control. And hard choices still have to be made. [/QUOTE]
