Geez I'd be fucked if I was going to have to rely on my kids to look after me. They know how to cook, clean, tend to the right things etc etc, but like me at that age they make fucking useless care givers.
Whenever anything gets done around my parents house, like adding some solar panels to the shed or cleaning the gutters or lopping trees, my old man always has the brightest outlook lately. "Well, I wont be here when those next need cleaning." "That's an issue for the next owner." "That will last longer than I will." I got over thinking about it a while ago and now days just throw back a smart arse comment like "then why the fuck are we doing it", or "fair enough lets fucking ignore it and hope it goes away for a few years." The problem with either statement is that my brother and I, more likely I, will be the ones that deal with it because when my parents get out of the house, no matter where they go, we are the next owners.
