| Would you date someone that is taking care of a elder parent?
Posted: 11/8/2007 8:29:03 AM | | I think we all approach the years where a decision has to be made about the care of their aging parent, and it's not pleasant any way you look at it. If you are fortunate enough to be the one child "most able" to care for a parent, count your blessings. Would I get involved with a man- that is a different situation. I think it would depend on if I was ready to deal with that situation, more about me and where I am in my life, than about you. My father-in-law was just a mean person after his stroke, and that isn't something I care to have in my life again, BUT- if I was involved with someone, and the elderly parent issue came into the equation, it would have to be a give and take balancing act. | |

Posted: 11/8/2007 10:12:08 AM | My mother takes care of my grandma right now. She moved in with her at the age of 49. After my grandmother had surgery she now needs 24/7 care so I shut down my business and care for her during the day while my mother is at work. (The rest of the family disappeared when she got really sick). Even tho there is all that family, if it wasn't for me staying with her during the day, she'd have had to be put in a nursing home since my mother couldn't take that long of a leave from work.
I'm finding a lot of men are having a problem with this, since I'm not working. But, too bad for them! My grandma won't be around forever, I'm only 31, I have plenty of time to work. | |

However, some women may think, you are looking for a chick, to pull help her sleeves and delve right to help. They've been there and done that, too and have no desire to do it anymore.

Posted: 11/19/2007 5:37:30 AM | I also care for my mother who has Alzheimers, 24/7. I have been truthful in my profile stating that I can get respite care, that's if I'm ever asked to go for coffee or dinner.
It sems to me that the men out there do not want to know you or are afraid they may be lumbered with extra unexpected roles and responsibilities. So much for their caring and compassionate traits they all say they have or is that just said to suck us women in?
Take care | |
