Caring for aging parents. It is one of the hardest things when you have the major life role reversal to care for your parents. They will be stubborn and refuse medical care or complain when you insist that they need to bathe more regularly. They will fight you on decisions about finances, their housing, and food choices.

Your heart will break as you watch them age and lose their physical and mental abilities. You’ll wonder why you have to manage your own household, care for your kids, and care for your parents at the same time.

And when they pass away, you’ll miss them and then also feel guilty because you feel some relief that you don’t have to manage it all anymore. You’ll be in charge of notifying people about their death and dealing with their estate. You’ll use your vacation time to clean out their house and to hold an estate sale.
