i like your answers very much except the last one. How do you know that you would be a burden on your children. The last three years of her life, my mother lived with my eldest son and i. i would not have changed those years for anything. She was never a burden to me, nor to my son. She was functionally dependent on us. If i could have her here today, i would be so happy. My father chose to stay in a nursing home because he felt he was too much of a burden. i tried so hard to convince him otherwise to no avail. If your children hear you say that enough, they may think of you as a burden when you are old. STOP IT right now!!!!!! . . . . . the elderly are not burdens, they are gifts, just as are children. And that is all i have to say on that right now. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your response, Louise! I meant more like "before my children feel that I am a burden." You sound like an amazing woman! All the best!
