Can I do something that's mean?

Is that okay?

I'm your friend and I'm on your team, but I'm going to do something that's going to feel mean for a second, okay?

I want you to run back the last few sentences you gave me, but I want you to change a couple of words, okay?

I want you to change it from they are making me to I am choosing.

Okay.

So tell me what you are choosing to do when it comes to getting them to all their appointments and everything.

There we go.

That hits different, huh?

Yeah.

So the only, the only way I've seen people be successful in this situation is

is to really get a clear, what I would call an or what statement, okay?

And what I mean by that is, I've talked to people who have said, my parents made choices when it came to their money.

They're broke, they're aging.

They will never move into my house again.

Best of luck, hope Medicare, Medicaid works, which your parents may not qualify for.

Best of luck to them.

I've heard that.

I've also had conversations with people over the years who are super frustrated, super annoyed with the situation their aging parents are in.

But they'll also say, I'll move them into my spare bedroom and I'll make my kids share three to a room.
