Are you a good parent?

My mom was in a nursing home last year for temporary rehab because she fell and broke her hand, she also has Parkinsons disease. It was awful for her, like living in a nut house. The only way she could get into an assisted living facility was to stay there for 90 days, but she couldn't stand it anymore and ended up coming to live with me. If it's possible for her to be cared for at home than I'd rather her live with me and her grandkids than spend the rest of her time in a lonely hell hole.

I hope my kids do the same for me if it ever comes to it.

My house isn't big enough for her to come here. There are other reasons I won't live with her that I won't get into here. There are a bunch of ladies at the NH that gang out together playing games and watching old movies or just chatting. I think my mom would enjoy that.

I am moving to GA so my brother can live with me. Although, the NH is great and they take great care if him, he will be happier down south. Then he can see his kids and friends. It would be much easier for me to buy a bigger house here than to move to GA but I'm willing to do that for him. I do think it will be a good thing for all of us.
