When my father died, my mother decided to sell the family home and move to sheltered accommodation as the house was costing too much to maintain and was a constant worry to her. She did this with our blessing and enjoyed the last 10 years of her life free of money worries from the sale of the house.
A close friend has recently told me she wishes to do the same for the same reasons, but her children have said she is not to sell the family home as it is their inheritance ( it has been in the family for 2 generations) Her husband left her the house in his will.
Have any other gransnetters experienced the same attitude from their children and is this now becoming the ‘norm’ ?
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
