My parents are looking at a condo today

They wanna downsize their house and move into a condo.

Not sure if they EVER will or just thinking about it

I currently live with them

They said “you’d go with us anywhere we go”

Then they say “you’re with us for NOW”

Then they say “there might not be a place for you to smoke cannabis at the condo”. I’m like ok not a big deal :sweat_smile:

Then she says “it’s probably not the right place for us anyways but we wanna look. It’s probably already sold too”

My sister is coming down and after the condo we’re going out to the diner for lunch

I never want my parents to sell their house it’s awesome here. In the woods. Our house isn’t cheap. But it’s way undervalued imo by the housing market. The condo would be the same exact price but a lot smaller and more convenient and less to take care of for them.

I’m not one to question their decisions much but I’d question a lil if they sold this beautiful home.

I’m not one to expect anything in return from being their son aside from their love & affection sometimes. Even that is iffy in expectation.

But like I don’t expect an inheritance. I’d always thought I’d live in a group home and rely on disability when they’re gone if I’m still around too.

But I’d consider it a shame to sell this beautiful home I love the property.but my mom is getting sick of it in her mid 70s

My mom says she has no intentions of moving and wants to die in our house. She says she worked hard to pay for it, she raised her family here, all her memories are here, she likes it and is use to it. I’m in the will to inherit 50% of it, my brother gets the other half, I’m 43 and I still live with them, I’ll probably live here until I die. It would be nice to have my own place but its costs a ton and my quality of life would go down because all my money would be going towards the expenses of owning my own place. Plus I would be lonely living by myself.

My parents talk about moving. 10 years ago they said they’d probably move in 5 years.

Now they say in a year or two

They are 74 & 80 yo

My parents want to move to a smaller house that doesn’t have stairs as they already have a hard time using the stairs and cleaning our big house. Our current house has a basement and two floors. They want to buy a triplex and live in it with me and my brothers.

Yes the stairs are a big issue with my mom too!!! But now that she knows she broke her foot , and had a fractured foot for 2 years, maybe it’ll be better since she’s getting it treated

I said to get a stair climber

Yeah,

I don’t know about you,

But when my parents “downsized” it was basically kicking my sister and I out.

They also “downsized” in a different town, so it was definitely kicking us out.

That’s okay, I moved in with my boyfriend and my sister moved in with her girlfriend.

Still,

I’d say that’s a sign it might be time to look for a place.

That sounds rough, I am so thankful my parents let me live at home. I’ll admit it’s kinda pathetic to still be living with my parents at 43, but I pay rent to live here, I don’t know what I would do if they kicked me out.

There was just no reason for us to be staying at home anymore.

She was in college and needed to be closer to campus anyway,

And I had already graduated and had a good job.

They figured we’d fly when they kicked us out of the nest,

And we did.

That’s what happened with my Mom when she was younger, and she did good for herself too, I don’t think she was happy about that though so she now has sympathy for me.
