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 ?
I would do what is best for me. It is your Decision. I would tell my Daughter that I appreciate her Concern, but that Y'all are Fine, and that she should concentrate on her own Life and not worry about what you do. She sounds like a Worrier. I had a Wife that was like that, I talked to her about it many Times for all the Good it did, She wound up literally worrying herself to death! she died at age 53.
