When Your Parents Now Live With You!
By Mark Flippo
My mouth is filled with Your praise. And with Your glory all day long.
Do not cast me off in the time of old age; Do not forsake me when my strength fails. (Psalm 71.8-9).
Now this is a fine line to walk. You need to be respectful and loving no matter how difficult they can be. They are used to having everything their own way! Trying to let them know this is your house and they need to respect that. Kindly of course. It takes an incredible balance of their way and natures. No body likes a bully! From either side of the living situation. My Mother-in-Law lives with us now. For her safety and to help her mindset to stop having depression and anxiety. It took a lot of Prayer from both of us! Still does. It is amazing how often she is sick. We make plans to go out and if she does not want to, she is mysteriously ill. She has been a great blessing to us. You better be a giving person! Good will comes back to you. She helps with the finances. Thank God! With Love to all of our Parents. May they have a sweet attitude at all times. OK most of the time! Well, from time to time.
Love Mark & Marian Flippo
