Would you move back in with your parents if they couldn't afford to pay their own bills? (29)
They've both passed away now...but....
if they couldn't afford it...yes I would, in terms that I would carry the responsibility of those bills myself....
If I was in that position, no I would not want to impose my problems on them...I would figure out my own manner of doing it.

My parents have long since passed to the other side....
But now that I am alone and unattached of course if they were still here I would gladly have them live with me....

I couldn't do it unless they were unable to care for themslves. I would pay their bills for them though.

Both my Mom and Dad are gone, but I would have done anything to ensure they were okay. In 2005 my Mother's home was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and she came and lived her last year of her life with me in California. I would hope if you had a normal family you would take care of them the same as they did for you when you were young. I live by only one basic rule: Family is family. When all else fails you still have each other and take care of each other.

I agree with the previous post...If they were unable to care for themselves..I have a friend who's mother has been living with her for many years..She is 90, I know that can be trying at times, but many don't trust nursing homes lately...

I had my dad move in with me for the first 2 yrs. after he had brain surgery, now he still doesn't work, but I try and provide what I can for him (he lives with his mom and takes care of her)

My Dad passed 10 yrs ago and my mother lives in FL. and has a very good State and Fed. pension. The state is her retirement and the Federal was my fathers retirement, So she does quite well monthly.

No....once I left home, I left home!
I always remember that I am not responsible for them...they are perpetually responsible for me. THEY brought me into this world...I never asked for it. I owe them nothing

If my parents were alive I still don't think I would because the way my parents raised. If they can't pay their bills and they wanted me there to pay their bills I would remind them of all the hell they put me through!!

well i had to at one point because my father was ill and my mom was a housewife and then the medical bills came so i moved back in to help them. now he's all better, my mom's mind is at ease and lol now they wont let me leave. but you know what..... they realize that i'm an adult, they give me my space and there is mutual respect between us. my father told me that being on your own doesn't make you an adult, you become an adult the first time you pay a bill. but now that everything's good with them, i'm packing up and heading back out. 2 women cant live in the same house, no matter how large it is.

Have and am, though one of my parents have passed on.
There can be other reasons as well, besides bills, though in the US, I can imagine how hard it is for the elderly to pay bills, especially when health care becomes a huge monetary issue.

I said no because my parents are both dead.
If they can't afford their bills where they are, I doubt I could be of much help.

Never in a million years would I have moved back to that tiny town where my mom lived. Instead, I moved her down here to live with me. She is disabled and can't work, and SSI wasn't nearly enough to pay her bills.

My parents have passed on. If they were alive today no I wouldn't move back in with them.
My parents always told me and my brothers and sister that once we moved out of the family home that we were on our own. It's called tough love so to speak.

My Parents said the same. Yet, when I asked during my divorce, I was told yes for three months only, with all the rules/curfews,etc as when I was in HS.
Mom said, it was b/c I had been on my own since I was 19, and was 28yrs old when I asked. She said that it would be impossible for longer than 3 months. I later opted not to move back in but to fight for my home.
She did let my siblings move back in as needed.
I voted other, b/c both of my parents are gone. But if they were alive and I lived in the same geographical area, was not married or had a family I would definitely move back in to help them.
If I was married or had a job in another state, I would pay their bills for them. If they needed more than that I would move them in with me until they were able to again stand on their own.
It is only b/c of them, their care, teaching, encouragement and support to overcome my multiple medical and handicaps that I was able to be functional in the world, independently. So YES I would do what ever was necessary to help them, no matter what.

Afer my dad passed away I worked and took care of my mom when the rest of my sibblings did nothing to help her. But I would never live at home to do it.
If either one of my parents were still away today I would still help out just not live at home to do it.

Mom, dad, and I actually discussed this. They refuse to let me do that if it ever came to it. Don't want me to do anything unless they physically can not care for themselves, which to them means permanently bed ridden or in the hospital. So I would but they would never let me. Just means I'd that if I had the money, I'd spoil them from the outside and buy their food etc which they would hate but oh well lol

Well, that small town had like 500 people compared to my city now of 50,000+.
Mine drives me crazy sometimes too, but I love her and know that none of this is her fault. So I try to be as patient as I can, but I do make her get up and do for herself to keep her active.------ This poll is Archived ------

My mom try's, she can still make her bed and keep up herself up personally but she cannot see very well so the cooking and cleaning is up to me.
She does get upset when I "run away from home" for a few days but the choice to be alone when I am gone was hers and hers alone..

Physically, mom's not that bad, but she's quite clumsy and runs into things alot. She can still cook (with supervision, or she'll forget to turn the stove off) and do some cleaning. But when she gets stressed, she'll start totally freaking out/throwing a fit and I'm the only one who can calm her down. She can't go into public by herself at all. Sometimes it's like having a kid.

I see that the israelis have massacred over 40 civilans in a school but of course its not their fault they are "innocent" and as usual we l have the same people justifying cold blooded murder. Can you imagine the reaction if 600+ Israelis or *God forbid* Americans were so calously slaughtered?
Palestinians are considered sub-human, their lives are cheap and expendable.

Let me clarify something...I said I would help my parents if they were financially strapped. You would have to know the circumstances of my childhood (some of you do).
But, if it were for health reasons, then I would be willing to help. Just wanted to clarify between financial help and illness or disabilities
