I love my Dad dearly. He sold his home up north & bought a home down south just 1 mile from where I live with my husband and 2 boys. My boys & I are very happy my Dad is moving here (just him & his little dog), my husband isn't as happy. My Dad hasn't a car, he can't drive, he's semi-retired on disablity but he does well for himself. There isn't the convienence of busses like up north, but he does have a scooter. Dad is so excited he can be closer to me and my family. I moved away 15 years ago after I got married. I've been up north visiting at least 1-2x a yr by myself & w/my husband & kids. My Dad & I are very close & we get along well. I wonder if we'll get on each others nerves living so close to each other and being together more often. Also I hope I don't hear from my husband that I spend more time @ my Dad's then @ our home. If anyone out there has gone thru this type of experience & has any "Do's & Don't" they can share, I'd really appreciate hearing them. Thanks.

Take every day as it comes try weekly visits to each others houses on sundays for lunch let it progress from there if your dad calls to yours too much just have a quiet word with him tell him you love him but could you perhaps call to each others in day when your husband at work as it may be too much for your husband when you normally have family times of your own,or better still let your husband and father build a bond together find something they both enjoy to do and arrange it for them. It should be fine try not to worry :)

i'm contained in the very similar boat as you except the getting married area. i'm prolonging the latter to handle the former and hoping inshallah each little thing would variety itself out. Elders sense quite susceptible even as they commence feeling undesirable. Having economic complications on accurate of that makes issues a hell lot extra complicated. Does your dad nevertheless artwork? see you later as he's round your mom and providing emotional help, then i imagine you do not opt for to rigidity about her feeling lonely. i imagine her significant problem is economic instability. although as some stated travelling your dad and mom per week or so, easily you understand thats no longer gonna ensue. living that far aside, you would maximum likely see your family individuals merely on particular events like eid or weddings.... communicate over along with your will be husband. Agree upon something contained in the start like paying the lease on your family individuals or giving them X volume of kilos each month. Ask your family individuals how a lot they opt for each month from you (you likely understand that already because you've been searching after them) and sit down along with your husband and study in case you 2 can artwork this out....

usually, when a man spends time with his parents, he hears from his wife. Not the other way around.
your boys have chance to see grandpa more often. How great that can be!
Do not worry at all about it. It will be just fine!
