Thinking backwards, I would take my parents around as they did not drive. But never occured to me to suggest that i do jobs in their home for them.
I do still have guilt feelings that I should have been able to see my Dad more, after my Mum died. But I was busy with a large family, and a disabled hubbie. When he offered to come to do some decorating for me, I was extremely grateful. He is nearly 80 years old then. Did not occur to me that he was old - he was just my Dad.
I am now that age, so see things very differently. However, I accept that my children have their own busy lives. Have a daughter who lives nearby, and if I asked for assistance with something, would probably try to give it - but her priority is (correctly IMO), her own children and hubbie.
