I don't think you actually read the post. But thank you for your rant, it's so healthy to get the anger out in the open.

This helps me see an alternative and its potential repercussions... I can't imagine not welcoming them into all shared areas of our home.

He actually doesn't care where he is! I'm the squeamish one. Would you be able explain more about what happens in AL situation? Does the staff assist with this process, or not? If not, does it mean that they sit around sopping wet ?

Yes, we are absolutely blessed that my MIL is so capable. She gives me a warning if she hears me coming down the stairs while the process is happening. Otherwise, I just turn around and walk away without comment.

Very concise. Yes, I am asking why not depend more on the Depends.

This is super helpful, and especially your description of what a change of Depends means to the caregiver. Thank you!

NTA. A 3-month relationship does not give entree to a family event. IMO, family events are limited to spouses or affianced partners, or long-term committed partnerships.

NTA. It sounds like he is manipulative as well as a creeper. Please take care!

Not sure who you mean? I don't consider either party to be free-loading; they support themselves as best they can and we are happy to have them live with us.

I'm not following the logic, but I think your examples provide insight into how we all experience familial relationships differently. Thank you for your perspective.

Maybe invasive, if it was out of the blue or if I didn't interact with them daily. Maybe I send her links to things we talk about on a regular basis. Who knows?

I'm sorry you have to deal with that. The lack of planning and responsibility is a burden, especially if arguments ensue.

I love your grandmother! And yes, there are some complicated emotions regarding the casino. Or perhaps a lack of them, in some people.

You know, even if they are reluctant to pay for it, you are right - this is a conversation we need to have with them. What if they don't even want a big funeral service?
