Everyones circumstances are different, but if my kids have ever needed anything over the years, we have been there for them, dropping our plans etc.
My daughter is home for xmas and is looking into staying up here for up to 6 months so she can help her dad juggle the refurb of the bungalow and looking after me, we haven't asked her to but she won't hear of any argument against it, she is packing her very well paid job that she loves down south up and will hopefully get some supply work as and if it comes up.

I would agree with that Smudgie, if you had a happy upbringing and your parents were there for you, imo its your turn to be there for them when they are vulnerable, I don't think any parent wants their kids to be burdened, but it is not a burden when you love them and that is what families are all about, looking out for each other especially when the going gets tough, I sound like a Disney movie
