My grandfather fell a week ago and its been decided that he can no longer live alone. He doesn't want to go to a nursing home. And I don't blame him. Insurance won't pay a done for in- home care. So that will cost a fortune.
My parents would like for me to take care of him. Little bit about me: I'm 24, my fiance and my 5 yr old daughter live with me in our 2 bedroom apt. We both work full time, I'm still finishing school, he's starting school soon. We would either have to move to my grandpa's house, which is far from where we work and where I go to school, or we'd have to rent a 3 bedroom house or apt and move there, and still hire someone to stay with him while we're at work.
My parents will not even consider having him live with them, though they're retired, have a large house with plenty of space, and no current obligations.
Is it unfair of me to at least ask them to TRY having him stay there before I rearrange my life? We're still just starting out and JUST now financially stable, and this is really overwhelming.
