Chatty, my brother and his wife recently moved in with Dad to help care for him. I see this as a huge sacrifice on their part, and am amazed that it's actually taken place. I can't imagine giving up my home and making the move. Even though all of us pitch in (taking dinner tonight) it's not the same as moving in. It's made life much simpler on the rest of us siblings. This was an eldercare issue.

If you're talking about the economy, I know plenty of the younger generation who have moved back home alone, and with children. I think that has to be tough, especially if it's because they've lost jobs, are unemployed, and around all the time.

I hope I don't have to depend on a soul to care for me. Wishful thinking!
