We're not talking about your demographic at all, anon. This is aimed at the teen and twenty-somethings with no motivation whatsoever to start their own lives without any real reason to stay in their parents' home. These are the kids who spend all day in their bedroom, coming out to eat meals and hardly lift a finger to help their parent(s) around the house.
What your son is doing, what many of us moving close to our parent(s) in their elderly age to help out, myself included, have done is admirable and the right thing to do. I was blessed to have spent so much time with my surviving parent (the other passed too young) at a time when they needed help.
Rest assured, while I'm sure it's a tremendous help to have your son with you at this stage of your life, he's just as happy to be able to be with you, to spend time with you, to help you. For those of us who honor and cherish our parents we recognize and are appreciative of all the time and sacrifices our beloved parents made for us throughout the years. God bless.
