Hey HN,

I know some of you have been down this road already. My dad is 86, my mum is 79 and my dad refuses to leave his house until he dies. It's our family home from when I was growing up, 2 stories and my dad currently crawls his way up the stairs each day to use his computer. He won't even consider moving down to the first floor (stubborn).

I have my own young family and my partner and I have jobs, so I'm basically looking for how you juggled your way through this part of life and if you have any pointers. I'm 41 btw.
