Hi I really need your advice. I'm living in the uk with ds and my dd age 16 is in Ireland with my very frail and elderly parents, both with underlying health problems. . My dad was in hospital in Jan and they said if he go to another chest infection he might not make it. My mother is similar with s lot of health issues and a very bad chest. My mother is concerned about dd going out to meet her friends but doesn't feeel she can ask her to stay in 24/7. I'm moving house on Saturday and I really want dd to come over here before it's too late. Plus I worry about my parents, but my parents say they want her to stAy. I think it gives my mother a focus and someone to talk to as my father is pretty shut down. I dunno what to do. I want her here but am I selfish. Wwyd.

If she is acting responsibly, she could be a great help to them. I know she needs downtime but she's pretty much a grown up and needs to act like one if she stays . WhatsApp etc is an option for maintaining social life.
