My parents aren't interested in leaving their hometown, though I've pointed out there are communities near me should they be interested eventually. As it is, I know my SIL would lobby a heavy campaign for them to move near them were they willing. We've had teasing fights over who gets the 'rents. I know neither my parents (nor I) want them to move in with us, but I know SIL would totally go for that. Not sure my brother's take on that, though he was on board when SIL offered that her grandfather come live with them.

askye, we lived with my MIL for 4 years, taking care of her after her Alzheimer's diagnosis. She was getting increasing isolated, and was spending more and more time in bed watching TV. She wasn't really ready to move to assisted living, but for her, it's the best thing we ever did. Her memory has improved a bit with the classes they have, and above all she has friends, and 24-hour nursing staff on-site. But I have to say my DH felt very guilty, like we were "dumping" her somewhere, so it's a huge decision. Give your Grandma and your dad some time.

She goes to class every day, they do crafts and go to the gym, and they have movie night every night. On Saturday's they have a tea and finger sandwiches, and usually have live music and dancing!
I need a Goth-friendly version of this. Right now, actually.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Oh, I bet there is (or will be in the near future) call for geeky/goth/subcultural assisted living communities.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Please please let me get through this block.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
