I am retired and my parent wants me to care for her by moving into her home as she needs round the clock care. I don't want payment. If no money is exchanged, am I simply my parent's roommate paying half share for utilities and food costs along with performing household cleaning services?
I was so specific because you need to be prepared to provide all this care. I am and luckily my husband and kids help, and my step dad does what he can. Hope this helps you be better prepared. I would not change it and love being able to care for my mom. She we be with us to the end.
Tell sis & mom you are too old to work those hours - if you lose your mind & agree to go there then stipulate a yard guy, cleaning lady, going out for 2 lunches & 2 dinners a week, paid vacation every 8 weeks of 1 week -
Your house can be rented out & after 1 [or less] year it will go month to month because with 30 or 60 days notice you can cancel a rental if family [READ YOU] moves back in so it won't be lost to you but write out at what point you bail - but best not to go there in first place - remember your name is not spelt 'DOORMAT' - make your stand now or forever keep quiet
