Hi Nugget, Do you love your parents? Just think of all the great things about them that you DO love; they'll far outweigh their "laziness" or poor "living conditions." As we get older, we get more tired and are less able to do the things we could do when we were much younger. We don't mean to be lazy, we don't WANT to be lazy, but we're just TIRED. And when you're tired, you have to pick your battles: "Am I gonna dust today or am I gonna do the laundry?"
My dad had many faults, I'm sure, and my mom sure complained about them -- including the fact that he was never around for my birthday (too busy hunting) -- but, you know what, his faults didn't bother me, even his never being there on my birthday. Now I'd give anything to have him around. He died 31 years ago, and not a day has gone by that I haven't missed him. I'm certainly glad that I had the chance to enjoy my time with him at his last Christmas; he died one month later.
Bev.
