Listen, you stick your parents in a nursing home if you'd like, and wax on about how lovely it all will be for them. It doesn't matter to me; they're your parents. But rest assured that I'll be taking care of mine, God willing, and they will be loving every minute of the loving care I will give them. But I can see that you don't understand the value of that, and maybe that's because you had the parents you had and I had mine.

All I was saying was to have the conversation with them. My stepmother wanted very much to be in a situation where she would have activities with peers all day. There's no way, even with adult day care, that we could have provided that from our house - esp. with working schedules.
If you're home all day, and can provide social activities for your parents, good for you.
