Our home base is TriCities, Washington. And talking with our adult daughter today and she thinks we should settle down and get an apartment or go into a "senior apartment" .. we are fine, no medical issues of significance .. do not need 'assistance care' .. and are and have been volunteering these past years ... now we are in our 70s.
I know this has been talked of before (searched, but couldn't find right combo of words to pull up thread)
.. and was wondering if others are having this same type of discussions with their adult children (in their 40s & 50s).
We have more traveling we want to do - Virginia trip possibly next year before looking for an apartment or a larger RV to retire in at an RV Park ..
If you have had this type of "discussions" with your grown children - how did you 'deal' with it ?
My oldest daughter tried that with us about getting off the farm. We have a small 14 acre farm and recently she commented that we needed to sell it and move back into town. She said this farm was too much for us. At 53 I'll admit I'm a little slower than I was at 23 but I can still outwork most 23 year olds. This place is a lot of work for just the two of us but personally, she'll have to drag me off this farm kicking and screaming.
I feel the same about my RV'ing.
