They still refuse to consider moving!
I've mentioned this on here before. They will be 80 this year. They have health problems - mum has kidney problems, high blood pressure ad arthritis, dad had a heart bypass and valve replacement in 2009. They have a large house and a 3 acre garden set in a valley so that it's mostly on a steep slope.
I have been trying to gently persuade them to move since dad was ill. I want them to move neare to me (we are 20 miles away) to a bungalow with a smaller flatter garden where they can get to the shops without lways using the car. But there is always a reason not to - now they reckon they won't get enough for the house. But whatever they buy will be cheaper too and where we live is cheaper than where they do anyway.
Dad has been getting a bit 'vague' recently. They went away to my DBs for the weekend and DB rang me to say how worried he was about dad - both he and mum reckon he might have had a mild TIA. Dad refuses to go the GP - he told mum he was going to make an appointment but didn't. She's worried and doing eveything around the house. She's exhausted, dad is sleeping all the time!
To cap it all their JRT is on his last legs, and weeing everywhere - it's horrible. The house stinks of dog wee but dad won't have him PTS in spite of the fact he's blind and deaf.
I am at my wit's end! What can I do? I physically cannot be there all the time. I work and I've got 3 DC. I can't be there helping as much as they need.
