I asked a question last night about my mother turning 60 and I have received wonderful and eye opening answers, thank you to all who took the time to answer.
My brother and I have been planing to buy a little house for our parents. For the past 35 years they have lived in a renting house and it has become too big and too expensive for them.
We want to do that well first because we love them and also because they worked so hard all their lives so we could go to University (both my parents only have a grade 6).
How would you feel if your children bought you a house? would you feel they're butting in your business, would you see it as charity or would you feel you're children doing it out of recognition and accept gladly?
They're so proud. We buy them airplane tickets to visit us and they have a hard time accepting them.
