My daughters were a blessing to me.
I am sure your dad appreciates what you do for him, even while hating that he needs it.

My son is a social worker by profession (even though he’s now on tour with a professional music group).
He sat me down shortly after dad decided to make his visit permanent and told me to stop doing for dad. I was making him an invalid. So I backed off. Best advice he ever gave me. Dad fixes his own breakfast and generally does little jobs to help around the house. At 92 he reads constantly is quite content to watch his ballgames and care for our two border collies (who take care of him).
