We have friends who retired almost 18 years ago. Their daughter moved in with them about that time requiring constant care due to a back injury.
There are numerous other ways for her to get assistance for free but won't because mom and dad can do it. Their life, even just trying to schedule a visit to the store, revolves around her. Her own kids won't even take her to a doctors appointment because they've been told that gran and gramps will do it.
Their great grandson's birthday, he was turning 2, fell on a weekend where they were able to go away for 4 days. They decided they would go see him several days before so they could get away for the first time in 4 years. Their daughter told them they were being extremely selfish and should stay home.
He is now in his 80's and can't get proper medical insurance to travel. He still gets his MH out and ready to go but it hasn't moved more than 500 miles in the last 8 years.
Go, go fast, go now, don't look back! :W
