To move near family or stay put
Aging Well | Last Active: Sep 30 8:46am | Replies (77)Comment receiving replies
I have a different problem- 2 adult children and their families states away from me and each other, both advocating for me to move near them. Here I live in a starter home we never left- one floor, I have my brother and sister-in-law nearby. We’re close and help each other (mid 70’s), my health is good.
I know choosing one to move near to will cause a lot of hurt feelings and possibly upset between the two, anybody else dealing with sibling rivalry still? Guess I should be happy I’m popular 🤣

Two choices: decline to move for the sake of comfort, ability, and continuity, or choose one of the two and be prepared to 'splain yourself to the one refused. How the spurned child feels is not your problem...it's theirs. You're a grownup with faculties and experience in living, and your decision must be unquestioned. Leave the rivalry where it belongs...between them.
