I would absolutely say please, move if you remotely get on with your children, for the reasons that I have already stated. It appears as though I didn’t love my six old folks but I did. it was just so frustrating when they couldn’t see that making no preparation for their old age, wasn’t my problem.
I lived with my Father for three weeks, in order to move him. As he was partially sighted, I sat with him going through papers. I found that he had loaned next door a £1000. It was never paid back. My Father thought he was as sharp as a pin...but they cheated him,
The conversation between us went like this for three weeks.
Me. “Dad, this is a electricity bill from 1953 , do you want to keep it ?
My Father. “ No, I don’t know why I kept it”
My MIL was brought up in a hall with servants and I swear that her much smaller house, had all the huge furniture from the hall stuffed into it. None of my children wanted boxes of monogrammed silvers spoons, Grandfather clocks, huge tables, massive bedroom sets in dark wood. Etc. They shop in Loaf and The White Company etc. They have no interest in “ old” stuff.
The Land mark Trust bought some of it.
Also, you have no idea when the problems of old age will hit. We seem to have gone, in 5 second, from a couple who coukd climb Yewbarrow easily, to hobbling about. Be warned!
