Going through that with my parents right now. They are 90 and 93 years of age. We tried to get the doctor to indicate that they were not fit to drive and that didn't work. Then we tried to get the license bureau to say that they couldn't renew their license and that didn't work. Finally we just flat out made them give up their driving privileges and sold their car. We have already moved them out of their house because they didn't have enough sense to close the doors and windows or take care of the house themselves and the neighbors were calling at all hours to report ma and pa's strange behavior. They spent three years in independent living until the management their said they couldn't stay any longer and must be sent to assisted living. Now they are in assisted living and we get the blame for everything they don't like. The tables have turned and we have to take the responsibility for them instead of them taking responsibility for us. The decisions are hard to make but must be made regardless. They are safe and living in a clean environment and get three meals a day. They have made many friends and enjoy the company of others but we still get blasted for them being "Put in a home".
They had cans of food stored everywhere, in the closets, under the bed, under the sofa, in the garage, in the basement, in the shop, and in the attic. Asked what they were planning on doing with all the food and all they could say is well you never know what might happen. Do you know what really old canned pineapple tastes like?
They lived like they were penniless but we discovered that they are worth over million dollars. They have lived through the great depression and fear that it will occur again.
Just remember your turn is coming.

Today's Featured Article - The Day Mom Drove the 8N - by Brian Browning. My Dad was wanting to put in a garden but couldn't operate the 8N and handle the old horse drawn plow he had found and rigged up to use with the tractor. Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o ... [Read Article]
