We try to be but there is a bit of irresponsibility in us all. My parents are a lot like kids in a variety of ways--but they've always been this way so I guess I'm used to it. I know it can be stressful to not have these strong, reliable adults in your life and to worry about your parents. One good thing about the way your parents are living is that it might keep them younger and they will probably live longer and be healthier. Another thing is that they probably are this way because they have so much faith and confidence in you. Your mother doesn't call you because she isn't worried about you. I'm not saying it isn't hard but in a way that is something to be glad about--you have made it possible for your parents to relax and have fun by being so together.

My father moved in with my husband and I a month after we got married. We've had to coach him on everything-- table manners, dating, haircuts and clothing, travel. I swear he didn't seem this clueless when I was growing up. Seriously, I think we’re the same person! My father moved in with my husband and I a month after we got married.
