Thanks Varsha for the excellent point of never to move in with your children. Hold on to your fort small or bigger. It is your freedom. Children respect you more. I have started early on. I told Monica that if are spending a lot of money on her and her educations and if she does not study hard and get good scores to finish her BSc program, she will not be able to get into any decent post grad programs. No studies means nothing on the will for her. It is really working Varsha. Sometimes it is a good incentive. She also know that Pam is on the will. She also knows that she and Pam will only get after we are gone and not before that. I am not putting her name on any of my properties. Want to learn from other people's mistakes.Originally posted by: Dabulls23
Tulsey I love your moral of the story and advice...Excellent points...
I will addNever ever sell your home and move in with children as long as u live permanantly....Go stay for a while but you must have your own home in your name....If u have become handicap and old age move into one of those homes over moving in with children...Save up for these type of unforseen expenses...Dont give all your money or control over your money to children...No money or no home you might as well be dead IMHO...Everyone loves guests for few days not permenant pests as they say...I am being honest.....It is enlightening to read everyone's experiences and we know we are not alone...Dysfunction exist in every family...Most mothers excuse their son & Dils off responsibilities and holds daughters responsible for the same....But when it comes time to support the one who did the most for them they turn around and support their sons...Not sure why?
