Podcasts about grandparents

Our episode with Henry + Zoe Winkler is a father/daughter master class on how grandparents play loving, supportive and epicenter-of-fun roles in their grandchildren's lives. If we're lucky, children have grandparents who can act as an extra set of trusted adults,  helping them navigate the twists and turns of childhood. But every parent knows that when it comes to grandparents, the rules tend to get thrown out the window - cake for breakfast anyone? We laughed and cried during this inspirational conversation with a very special family… we think you will, too.   Show Notes: Alien Superstar Book Series This Is About Humanity & Visit OOMLA to shop thoughtfully designed (OOM)Bras!   Produced by Dear Media

Welcome to 2022 with the first episode of the year with Practicing Uncommon Sense. I try to probe my co-host more about what a mid life crisis is, however he doesn't seem to relate with it. We discuss movies and who are good and bad actors? Is the Jumanji reboot a good movie, or is it terrible? Let us know if you liked the new Jumanji movies or if you prefer the original. We also discuss our family history. Grandparents, parents, and all of the adventures we now know they had. How generations are different with keeping secrets and providing the do as I say not as I do mantra; versus the openness of the current generation. Do your parents or grandparents have crazy and or interesting pasts? Share your stories with us. If you have topics that would like to have some common sense added to, let us know!

I can't tell you how many times I've heard somebody say— "If I knew I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself and saved more money." True or true? Modern times are interesting times, and when it comes to living a long life, people either think life is too short or long. If you do things correctly, long enough is the best answer, but 200 years ago, most folks didn't have the luxury of thinking about things like that. If you lived during those times, you lived at a slower and harder pace. And, since time is relative, your perception was slower, as well. Everything was slower. It would be like a two-week, off-the-grid vacation in a mountain cabin without your phone in modern times if you think about it. That used to be daily life. Yes, time-wise, living to the ripe old age of 40 felt like living to 100 today - if something simple didn't take you out sooner.  When California had open land, low-priced real estate, and gold in them-there-hills, almost everybody died much younger than today. Usually from an exotic disease like a toothache.   If you lived a couple of centuries ago, the simple life meant simple goals: Survive childhood. Buy a horse. Get married. Buy another horse. Build your first house on your 40-year old Grandparents' property. Get your kids through 5th grade so they can graduate to help you plow the field. And if you were a planner, plant a tree on the hill a soon as you can so that it is big enough for your kids to bury you under when a toothache took you out. While it's easy to make fun of the old days, one thing rings true— If you lived in the past, wondering what you would do next in your life would never be an option.  Since you have that option, the question is, what are you going to do with it?

My Perfect Christmas I told you so. I suspect a few of my regular listeners didn't believe me when I said I'd be back to Funny Messy Life after a brief hiatus, but here I am. I've been gone for a few weeks because it's hard to find the time to write out full episodes of this podcast when there are other things that I have to do in place of it, like editing the final draft of a novel, which is what has been going on with this last break. But every break has to come to an end at some point, and while I'm not done with editing Mr. Long Said Nothing because my life is too full with obligations, I've been thinking it's time to get back in the podcast saddle. The question was this: Should I jump on back in now, or give myself the rest of the year and jump back in at the beginning of 2022? I mean, it's only about a week now, right? Then something happened. I received a Christmas card from my friends, the ________, in Minnesota and my heart soared. By the way, _________, I wanted to send you an email to thank you, but I got a fancy pants new iPhone and in the data transfer, I lost your info, so drop me your email address if you don't mind. Anyway, I decided that if someone who knows me through this podcast feels strongly enough to send me a card, then maybe others of you do too … just maybe not as much as the __________'s because they put that they were my biggest fans right there on the envelope, so ……     SO! - without further ado, I'm Michael Blackston and Merry Christmas! Here is the first episode back after my hiatus, and now I present to you, for your holiday pleasure, a few words that describe what I think would be the perfect Christmas in my Funny Messy Life. _________________________ Let us start by jingling all the way back to my childhood in the 1970's and 80's to get the family Christmas tree. In. my extended family, we had a tradition. We always met at my grandma's house on Sunday afternoons for lunch and a few hours of fellowship. The grownups gathered around the kitchen table after the meal, while the kids were expected to go outside and frolick merrily around the property, regardless of whether or not it was 20 degrees, or 150. If it was 150, we came back in at the end of the day with sweaty, gritty dirt lines circling the perimeters of our necks. I may have mentioned before that we called these rings of grime and funk, Granny Beads. If it was twenty degrees outside, we'd still have them, but they'd be frozen into magical frozen filth beads. Either way, the adults would inevitably tell us at the end of the day, after being the very ones to banish us to the hours long whimsy of nature, Y'all smell like the outside! But every year a couple of weeks before Christmas, it was the entire family who got to smell like the outside. Why? Because it was our tradition for everybody to march into the woods together and pick out our Christmas trees from the wild cedars that grew behind Grandma's house. The men took up their saws, we kids ran untethered through the forest like we didn't have no good raisin', and the women kept a keen eye out for the perfect tree when they weren't yelling at us kids. “Quit runnin' around like y'all ain't got no good raisin'!” Every once in a while, one of the young ones would find a tree we wanted to take home. “Let's git thissun, Deddie!” But it was never the right one. It usually had a huge bare spot in the middle, or the top looked like the Jolly Green Giant had used it to scrape the granny beads out of the creases on his jolly green neck. Eventually, the angels would descent, shining a holy light on the perfect tree, and the man who claimed it would begin the arduous task of cussing it down. Did I say cussing it down? Ha ha, no. Of course not. I meant cutting it down with interesting, and quite colorful words as a way to encourage the saw to stop getting stuck in the sap midway through. Once we got the tree home and decorated, the house smelled delightfully of cedar and burning cedar needles as back in those days we thought nothing of stringing a dead tree with huge glass bulbs that got hotter than Satan's armpit. In effect, our house smelt like th'outside! And that's number one on my list of things that would make a perfect Christmas - going outback of Grandma's house with the family just one more time to pick out the Christmas tree. Next, I think I would want the family to gather again a couple of weeks before Christmas at an old southern restaurant that no longer exists, except in our fond memories. I'm not sure who first came up with the idea of everybody going to Swamp Guinea (prounounced SWOMP' - ginny), but they are responsible for some wonderful memories. It became another extended family tradition, and I suspect maybe my Grandpa started it all. Swamp Guinea was an wood cabin sort of place that smelled of fried everything and sweet tea. It was an all-you-can-eat family style gorge-fest where our family met to tear into chicken, shrimp, catfish, hush puppies, cole slaw, and stew like we didn't have no good raisin'. The place is closed now, and this year we tried to re-imagine the tradition with a trip to another similar place called Booty's. I didn't care for it, but we were all together and that's what was important. Well, Grandma wasn't with us for the first time, so I guess that might have had something to do with it not being the same. The thing is, the stew I just mentioned would also always make an appearance at our Christmas Eve gathering. Someone would order a pot of Swamp Guinea stew and bring a loaf of bread to the table. Lately the stew was from a different place, and it's good, but it's not Swamp Guinea. At least we were all together at Grandma's. So for number two, I think just one more meal with the family at Swamp Guinea would help make the perfect Christmas. Stepping back to the tree situation, one of my favorite memories of Christmas was always the family decorating the tree in the middle of Grandma and Grandpa's living room. The box with all the ornaments would be brought in and everyone would be invited to find the ball with their name on it. I think my sister might have started this event years ago because she'd seen them doing on Days Of Our Lives, but it stuck and it became ours as well. The kids hung theirs as high up as they could go, while the teens fought for position at the topmost point of the tree. One of my cousins would never be outdone and to this day, the tree's topmost ornament bears the name, Chuck. It's there again this year, except the tree was brought to my aunt's house because the house we've always known as Grandma's has been sold. New places, new traditions. Never quite the same. Grandma and Grandpa would sit back and watch the crowd laughing and being jolly as we decorated the tree, sometimes so loud it seemed we didn't have no good raisin', and they said few words. They just took it all in. And that's number three for me in my ideal description of the perfect Christmas. Then there's Christmas Eve. After the meal that included all the trimmings, including the stew, we would all retire to the living room to open presents. The kids would have been begging to get to this part for a while now, and having digested, the adults would relent. At that point, a couple of people would be appointed to pass them out from the enormous pile under the tree and the fun would start with everyone ripping up paper and throwing bows into the air with reckless abandon, as if they didn't have no good raisin'. Someone always ended up with a bow on their head, showing it off to everyone like it was the first time anyone had ever thought of it. A lot of time that person has been me. There are a couple of gag gifts that have made their rounds over the years: an old coat that no one wants, and two plastic guitar-shaped popcorn … things with Elvis on the label. These gifts must be kept and regifted the next year. Every year, someone dares someone else to eat the popcorn and we laugh. Once again, the Grandparents, ,and for several years, only Grandma, sat and watched and got showered with gifts, but said little. This was their gift - to see the family they created share a wonderful time. I suspect this description matches a lot of others around the world in cultures that celebrate Christmas, but each one will have their special little things that make it unique to that family. Ours will be different this year. Grandma passed this year and like I said, the house was sold. It's funny, I always call it Grandma's house, but there was Grandpa, too, until he passed. That was his way, though. To quietly sit in the background and enjoy watching the rest of us. When I think back on it, I can still see the look on his face, the slightest upward curl the edges of his mouth, and the twinkle in his eye as his family lived their lives in front of him. That's what he always worked toward. It was his greatest mission - to provide those moments for the rest of us. In the end, it became Grandma's mantle to sit back and watch. The older she got, the less she would say as she sat at the side table in Sundays in the kitchen while the rest of us talked and laughed, and on a rare occasions, argued. I felt bad for her sometimes and didn't want her to feel left out, so I'd ask her … “You okay over there, Grandma?” She would smile and say, “I'm just listening to y'all.” Coming in at number four, one more Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa at their house on the Washington Highway. I want to pull in one more time and see the lone tree out front lit with bright, multicolored lights. I want my headlights to shine just one more time on a sign out front by the road that read, Joseph Mills Photograghy. I want to walk inside and immediately hear gales of laughter and smell the stew. And I want my hug. God, I miss my hug. It's all different now, and I'm settled that the only choice we have is to continue to love, laugh, and live. In those moments, we will usher in new traditions and the world will, as it always has, move on. There are a bunch of other things that would help put the perfect season pin to the season, but this year, these feel like they rank at the top for me. Maybe I'll revisit this list and add to it another time, but for now, it's where it ought to be. As for my Christian brothers and sisters who might ask, Where was Christ in all of this? You never mentioned Christ. I didn't have to. He was always there. He was there when Grandpa and Grandma eloped to be married at 16. He was there at the birth of each of their three daughters, and subsequently every grandchild as the family grew. And Christ was at the very center of every celebration, every tradition, and every memory we made. And now, I guess he's with them in Heaven, three of them holding hands together and smiling, watching with maybe few words, as we continue to live our lives in front of them.

On today's episode, I speak with yet another person I find truly fascinating, Jessica Sueiro. Jessica and her husband, Will, along with their two children, Avalon and Largo, are world traveling, homeschooling, bohemian vagabonds in the best possible way. They have an amazing YouTube channel called World Towning, where they document their full-time travel family adventures and share their passion for dreaming big. Jessica joins me from a boat in Majorca to discuss her family's decision to leave their Boston 2013 in favor of trekking around the world together, how they have thrived throughout their traveling adventures, and the experience of managing homeschool in the process. Jessica talks about overcoming the fear of screwing up your kids or being judged by others to step out of the box and follow your own path. She shares how her family maintains a sense of stability, routine, and deep connection as world travelers, how her children have navigated their social needs through this experience, and her thoughts on minimalism. We chat about the delicate balance of transitioning grandparents away from giving stuff in favor of experiences, and I ask Jessica how she handles being with her kids all day long as a HSP (Highly Sensitive Person). Finally, we discuss the importance of community and asking for help, how traveling makes you a better, more humble person, and Jessica offers her best advice for listeners who are considering a major life change or transition from the norm. For more information about the Sueiro family and their traveling lifestyle, visit WorldTowningVoyages.com or check out their YouTube Channel, which features new videos every Friday. Thank you for your listening! I appreciate your patronage more than I can say. For more information on my potty training and parenting resources, please visit the links below. The Finer Details of This Episode: Jessica and her husband, Will, always wanted to travel with their kids but didn't think it was possible A summer trip to Paris sparked their interest in international travel They realized they all thrived in their travelling adventures and decided to make it happen on their own They wanted to instill a global education for their children, have more time together,  forge a tighter bond as a family, and create memories over buying stuff Most people have a fear of stepping out of the box - accepting that we will f-ck up our kids no matter where we are gives us the freedom to take that leap It took them seven years to finally decide to change their lives - they are planners and it was not an impulsive decision They have a travel-based business, which works for their lifestyle They have maintained a sense of rhythm and routine as travelers by reading at night, eating dinner together, and having consistency as a family Home is in the heart, not the house you're living in They have an ‘open-door policy' where you can always interrupt if you have a question or need emotional support They have always prioritized their children's social components through the homeschooling experience, which has been challenging during the pandemic Her daughter started her own book club, to help meet social needs and connect with friends Listen to your kids' interests, create what you need, and be open-minded about the way kids make friends today Jessica shares how their travels informed a minimalist lifestyle - she is a minimalist by nature For the first three years, they left with eight bags and eight carry-ons, and lived in different countries for nine to twelve months at a time They traveled from Costa Rica to Ecuador to France, then they moved to an RV Their policy was if something came in, something went out Focus is on experiences over stuff Grandparents traditionally show their love through gifts and toys, but Jessica and Will have really tried to transition grandparents to giving experiences instead Grandparents get joy out of watching kids open presents, but Jessica and Will try to bring the focus back to experiences that will give the child joy instead Jessica is a self-proclaimed HSP (Highly Sensitive Person) Being with her kids all day long while also working is all she's ever known and it doesn't bother her They have done the work to create the life they want The importance of community and asking for help Traveling makes you a better person because it's humbling and you become so appreciative If you're looking to make a major transition or change in your life, remember that as a parent, you are tough The worst that can happen is you go back to where you started, but you will have learned and grown so much along the way   Quotes “Will and I had always wanted to travel with the kids. But we were responsible career people. And we had no idea that you could just do this on your own.” “We came out of the summer going, Wow, that was a pretty cool summer. Our kids thrived, our relationship thrived, you're able to work and adventure and parent and do all this kind of stuff. At the same time we realized, Hey, I could probably do this on our own. So why don't we try and do this?” “We wanted to do it for global education for our kids, more family time, tighter bond as a family, and also to be creating memories over buying stuff. And so that's kind of the basis of why we did it.” “The first thing we all need to realize is we're all going to f-ck up our kids. So it doesn't really matter where we are and where we are in the world… Inevitably, if I stay right here, I'm going to do something wrong. And if I go over here, I'm going to do something wrong, too. So why wouldn't you just take that leap?” “Stepping outside of what is normal, it's difficult. There's a lot of criticism, everyone has an opinion, people are going to tell you you're screwing up your life, your career, their American dream that they have for your children. Grandparents, friends - everyone has an opinion. So I think that that's a natural and normal fear. Absolutely hands down. We've definitely had it. But fear is part of life.” “It took us seven years because we were raised in a society and in families where the responsible thing to do was have this career, have the house, follow this path.” “For well over a decade, that was one of our things that connected us as a family, was the reading. We've always had dinner together wherever we are in the world.” “Often our backdrop is ever-changing, our timezone is changing, the language we're navigating is changing, the currency might be changing, but the consistency we keep within our family is always there.” “People will say, Well, there's no stability in the way that you're living your life. And you don't have a home. I'm like, We have a home - we just don't always have a house we put it in. The stability is in these traditions and these rituals that we create as a family to connect us deeper.”  “I found that those times where they can come and know that you're accessible has been really, really helpful for them to have that connection with us.” “Let's talk pandemic and pre-pandemic. The pandemic's been incredibly difficult for them. How we normally navigated social has been thrown out the window.” “It's really important, as well as difficult, for our generation to change our thought process on how kids make friends and how they maintain them. And like you said, we have to contribute to that.” “If you want to choose this different path, it's going to be more work.” “When we left the United States, we left with eight bags, and eight carry-ons. So you get two free checked bags and two carry-ons per person… We left with what seemed like very little, but it's so massive now. We lived in places for nine to twelve months at a time.” “Everybody who listens to me, tries to ask the grandparents for experiences. But the grandparents want the joy of the opening of the present.” “If you ask them why they're buying all this plastic sh-t, and whatever, it brings them joy to do it. But isn't the idea to bring the kid joy?” “Traveling, I always say - it makes you a better person. Because you become so appreciative.” “It's very, very, very humbling to have that assistance and to learn that we all need help.” “If you're looking to transition your life and you're unhappy in your life, like you're saying, go out and find that other life, find that community.” “We need to look at self-care as well as lifestyle choices - just do it. Just make the choice to do it, and then set a date and do it.”   Links: Jamie's Homepage -  http://www.jamieglowacki.com/ Oh Crap!

So if you're a grandparent providing childcare for your kids, what's the cost? What does it take out of you, time-wise and energy wise? How much are you saving your kids?

Today, we are going to be talking about having a parent move in with you and your family. First, we'll talk about how your relationship with your parent may change. Then, we'll talk about what steps you need to take to make the transition from your parent living alone to moving in with you. Finally, we'll end the episode on ways you can make the transition easier. Now let's move on to the rest of the show.   We're going to start out today's episode with one couple's story of living with an elderly parent. If you would like to read the story for yourself, you can find the link to A Place for Mom in our show notes.   Lynette and Marty Whiteman were getting used to losing sleep. After Lynette's aging mother Mildred moved into their New Jersey home from her retirement community, she regularly woke the couple, asking for help at odd hours. To Mildred, the requests were urgent, but Marty didn't see changing light bulbs or resetting microwave clocks as tasks to crawl out of bed for.   Mildred's increasing care needs — and midnight knocks on the couple's door — were taking a toll on the Whitemans' marriage. Tension over caregiving roles steadily increased, while privacy decreased. Communication broke down, and stress piled up.   The Whitemans, like many adults who choose to care for aging parents, thought having Mildred in the home would not only keep her safe but lend convenience as well. They thought it would be easier than having to travel back and forth between their home and hers. As it turned out, that wasn't the case.   “It was a great idea in concept,” says Lynette. “But we didn't know what we were getting into.”   Caring for Mildred at home wasn't urgent, but it seemed like a good idea to Lynette. Her mom would receive regular social interaction, and they could form a closer relationship together.   Before moving in with her daughter, Mildred had grown depressed and isolated. Her late husband — Lynette's father — had been outgoing, and he kept the couple engaged in community life and social events. Without him around, Lynette was worried: What if Mildred became too lonely? What if she fell while she was alone?   “We figured she'd have somebody if something happened in the middle of the night, and we could help her with her bills,” says Lynette.   So, they built a small, attached apartment with a private kitchen and bathroom using some of Mildred's savings. But the adjustment was more difficult than expected.   At first, Marty and Lynette had trouble accepting the constant late-night interruptions and repetitive dinners at home. It seemed like they'd put their lives — and their marriage — on hold to care for Mildred. However, the couple's situation improved after they agreed to work as a team, make adjustments, and follow a few pieces of caregiver advice:   Don't be afraid to ask for help. Make time for everyone, including yourself. Accept that some things don't change. Set boundaries. Acknowledge that you're doing your best in a tough situation.   The Whiteman's story is something more and more families are becoming familiar with as the aging population rises. This can be an extremely rewarding experience for you and your family, but it can also be extremely difficult. There are many things you need to consider when thinking about having a loved one come live with you.   First, you should be prepared for how your relationship with your loved one will change once they are living with you, especially if you are providing any level of care for them. Cohabitating with a parent for the first time since childhood can be strange for both you and your parent.   Next Avenue says you should avoid parent-child patterns from youth. Just because you're back living under the same roof as your parents, you don't have to share the details of your life the way you may have as a child. Laurel Steinberg, a relationship therapist and psychology professor at Columbia University, cautions adult children to not seek approval for their actions and decisions. You now pay for the roof over your head and are responsible for the day-to-day routines.   She says it's OK to ask a parent for help or for an opinion, but you shouldn't fall into a pattern where a parent dictates how the household should operate or expect to be privy to every decision and detail related to the household. “Parents should only offer advice when adult children ask for it,” she says.   Next Avenue also recommends that you don't ask for permission. Remember that even though you're a grown-up who may have grown kids of your own, to your parent, you'll always be their little boy or girl. That nostalgia can fuel parental expectations that your relationship will revert to what it was decades earlier. Steinberg says that “adult children often fall into the habit of asking for permission when parents live with them.” Gently assert your adult independence by setting boundaries on move-in day. You can politely tell your parent that you will not be reporting in every time you leave the house or take a phone call. The goal is to establish that you're a self-sufficient adult who loves their parent, but has their own, independent life now.”   Prior to your loved one moving in, you need to sit down and have a conversation with them and your family to go over the house rules and any moving logistics, like what your loved one can keep with them and what areas of the house will be reserved for them. You want to make sure everyone living in your house has access to a space just for them, where they can go to be alone and have privacy.   If you have a guest house, an adjoining apartment, or a room with a separate entrance, this would be the perfect place for your parent to move in to, as long as their needs allow them to be in a secluded area by themselves. If you don't have this extra space, you should consider what options you do have. Do you have a guest room or spare room they could use? Would your kids need to share a room? Do you or your parent have funds to build a place for them?   Having an entire living area to themselves, with a bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, and living area, can help your parent maintain their independence when living with their child, and can help the rest of the family keep more of their normal daily routines the same.   Even with a separate living area, routines will have to change, and communication will be key. Having a weekly schedule can be helpful for busy families. You don't need to tell your parent when you are going to be gone, but writing on a schedule that you will be out on Tuesday and Thursday can be a good way to let your parent, and everyone else, know you will be unavailable. If your parent is unable to drive or doesn't have a car of their own, a schedule can also be useful to know when they will need your assistance to get somewhere, like an appointment or a social gathering.   Alert 1 says that while it may seem overwhelming at first, both you and your loved one will come to love living under the same roof again.   Your parent will be there to help with things around the house so you don't have to worry when you get home from work. They can help get the kids ready for school in the morning and for bed at night. Your pets will enjoy having someone around more often, and your dog can get your loved one outside and exercising.   Even if you don't need the extra babysitting, your parent can still watch the house while you get away for the weekend. They'll be there to listen and give advice when you're feeling lost. Instead of having to hang up the phone, you can end the conversation with a hug.   Living with your parent, you'll be able to support and care for each other while they enjoy their golden years. After all, what else is family for?   Now that we've told you some of the ways your relationship with your parent can change when they move in, let's move on to what steps you should take during this transition.   Before your parent moves in with you, AARP has a list of questions you should ask yourself:   How will the move involve my spouse, children, and siblings? How will my parent's presence affect our family routine, activities, and privacy? Are there any unresolved issues between me and my parent or my spouse and my parent? Does this mean remodeling our house or adding a bedroom or bathroom? Do I expect other family members to pitch in? Can we afford the extra expense? Should part of my parent's income go toward living expenses? Will I need to quit work or alter my schedule? Will we take my parent with us on vacation or get respite care? Are there issues such as smoking, drinking, or pets that we need to work out? Does my parent have any tendencies that bother or upset me? Can they be resolved? How will I establish boundaries? How does my parent feel about moving? How do I feel about accepting this role?   Once you have gone over these questions yourself, you should sit down with your parent and siblings to discuss things prior to the move. According to AARP, you should talk openly about expectations, fears, finances, and any lingering issues. It may make you uneasy, but this is the prime time to work it out or readjust your thinking. Sometimes it's as easy as telling each other what bothers you. The other person may have no idea — and no trouble making a change.   Next Avenue also suggests that you seek outside counseling to help with the transition. “Having a parent age to the point where you are now essentially the ‘parent' can be very powerful and difficult to navigate and trigger a range of emotions,” says Sara Sedlik, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Los Angeles.   You may experience unexpected anger, sadness, dread, or guilt in this situation, which can be overwhelming.   Sedlik also says that “there may also be relief or joy to have your parent close to you. Typically, there is a mix of emotions, which adds to the confusion.”   Without properly addressing these feelings or at least being aware of them, you may experience excess stress that can show up in other areas of your life, including personal or professional relationships, work performance, or even physical health.   Your family may also benefit from a session or two of group therapy. During this time, anyone can bring any grievances or issues they foresee to the rest of the family and have a moderator there to ensure everyone is given a fair amount of time to speak and be heard. If group therapy isn't for you and your family, you can also hold a family meeting on your own and have everyone come prepared with written questions and concerns to discuss. Make sure to include your parent, too. If needed, you can have a few sessions, one with your children, one with your siblings, one with your parent, and one with everyone all together. Breaking into smaller groups can also be beneficial if anyone has any issues they want to bring to your attention without talking to the entire family at once, as that can be intimidating.   After you have met with your family and talked about your loved one moving in with you, you will need to take a look at your current living arrangements and see what all will need to change before your parent moves in.   Alert 1 recommends answering the following questions to see what sort of improvements will need to be made to your home. Do grab bars need to be installed in the bathroom? Does furniture need to be re-arranged to make more space for walking? Do all of the lights work? Do you have nightlights in bathrooms and along hallways? Does your yard have hazards like uneven pavement or overgrown vines?   Before your loved one moves in, you also need to go over their care needs and discuss your boundaries. A Place for Mom says that maybe you're comfortable cooking and doing laundry but are not as comfortable bathing your parent or helping them use the bathroom. If you are not able to provide such care, you should look into professional home care options or assisted living. If your parent doesn't need care when they move in, you should also discuss what you would do if and when they may need care in the future. Would that role fall to you or would you hire outside help?   Once you have established what level of care your loved one needs and who will be doing what, it's time to work on organizing your house and possibly donating items you won't have space for.   Your loved one should have their own bedroom and, if possible, their own living room or living area to arrange as they please. It can be stressful to merge belongings together without a plan, so try to create a clear map and write down where everything will go. Make sure your parent knows beforehand how much space they will have for their belongings.   It's important to remember that your loved one is downsizing to move in with you, so why not do the same for them? Use this time to go through and donate things you don't use or need. This will help free up space for your loved one's belongings and they will feel better knowing they are not alone in having to let go of things.   Once you have the space for your loved one and you have talked about care options, it's time for them to move in! Make sure to keep a positive outlook during this time. It will help ease the transition on your parent, and after all, it should be a positive time! You get to spend more time with your parent and develop an entirely new relationship with them.   Once your parent has settled into their new living space, you can all begin to get comfortable in the new normal. Alert 1 tells us that having someone move in causes a disruption in everyday activity.  If Grandma is active and mobile, add her to the household chore list. She can help out with preparing meals, doing dishes, gardening, and walking the dog. Don't expect her to do any heavy lifting, though. You'll still need to take out the trash and clean out the gutters.   Once your loved one is accustomed to living with you, you can go over your list of household chores and find the best way to divide them up together. You can also revisit this list and make changes as needed. While your loved one is living with you, you should both be able to come to one another and talk about what is or isn't working at any time and make any necessary changes.   While we hope your experience living with your loved one once again goes smoothly, we also want to prepare you for the possibility that it won't work out. According to Aging Care, caregiver guilt can be a significant obstacle for many, regardless of the specifics of your living situation. You feel an obligation to make this work, but when an elder exhibits troublesome dementia-related behaviors, creates unsafe or unsanitary conditions, sets a poor example for your children, interferes with your marriage, or refuses to contribute to the household or see to their own care, it puts a huge strain on your life.   If you're feeling trapped caring for elderly parents in a situation that you cannot escape, it's time to let go of the guilt and make other arrangements. It is time to acknowledge that you did your best and explore other elder care options. These might consist of an adult daycare or professional in-home care for respite or moving your loved one into assisted living, memory care, or a nursing home.   In order to avoid caregiver guilt, an unhappy relationship, a tense household, and an overall bad experience, it's important to make sure you follow the steps we have talked about today. And always remember to take care of yourself and reach out when you need help.   So far, we've talked about how your relationships can change when a parent moves in and what transition steps you should take. Before we close for today, let's talk a little about how you can make the transition easier for your loved one.   According to AARP, your parent may struggle getting acclimated to a new living arrangement and neighborhood. You can be of assistance by helping to locate the local pharmacy, bank, faith community, recreation center, and other services they may use. If your parent is interested in independent daytime activities, you can visit a nearby senior center for information on classes and programs. If your parent requires more intensive care, assess adult daycare centers that provide rehab, meals, counseling, and therapeutic activities. If you are providing full-time care in your home, look into respite or companion services to give you a break and help your parent expand his or her social circle.   If your loved one is moving from a different area, they may need your help keeping in contact with their friends. If your parent isn't technologically savvy, you can help them set up a video call a few times a month to catch up with their friends. If you help them with their technical difficulties, you should also be prepared to help their friends if they need it.   If your loved one is interested in learning more about using technology, you can help them find a technology class at a senior center or library that's geared towards seniors. If you're interested in learning about how you can use technology as a caregiver, you can also check out our episode, Technology Tips for Caregivers. You can find it on our website, our YouTube channel, or wherever you listen to podcasts.   We hope this episode helps you prepare for living with your loved one again. Following the steps and tips we've listed today should help you navigate this time, but don't hesitate to reach out to your support group whenever you need. There will be hard times, just as there are when you are living with anyone else. Be patient, be kind, and have fun. Enjoy getting to spend this extra time with your loved one.   We want to say thank you for joining us here at All Home Care Matters, All Home Care Matters is here for you and to help families as they navigate these long-term care issues.

It's a little known fact that in the nineteenth century, Americans favored green teas consumed hot with milk and sugar. The teas were imported from China until Japan developed an export industry centered on the U.S. Author Robert Hellyer explores the forgotten American preference and traces the trans-Pacific tea trade from the eighteenth century forward in his book, Green with Milk and Sugar (discount code: cup20). He shares his insights on how the interconnections between Japan and the United States have influenced the daily habits of people in both countries. Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.
