My dad doesn’t want to move away from his house, but it’s time for him to move in with my sister or me, or he has to go to live at home.
My dad saw a couple of weeks ago and since then we have been dealing with social services.
Social services won’t let my dad go back to his home unless there is someone there to take care of him at all times. My wife and I can’t take care of my dad when we have three children at home. Our only option is to bring my dad to live with us. My dad doesn’t want to move away from home, even though I told him the circumstances. He knows that he has to live with me and my wife or go to a retirement home. My dad has been living in that house for 50 years. He recently upgraded the furnace. That was the excuse my Dad tried to give. He told me that he paid for a brand new furnace and he wasn’t going to move out of the house until the furnace was fully paid for. I told my dad that he was being ridiculous. It didn’t matter if the furnace was new or not, because the fact of that matter was that my dad could not live in that house anymore. Wife and I are doing everything we can to make sure that my dad will be comfortable with us. We even hired a local contractor to put a small bathroom in the bedroom so my dad does not have to share with the kids.
