Selfless care? Don't think so.

OK, maybe not selfless care, maybe more like tough love. People used to think I was selfless with my Dad, but it was far from the truth!

They would like to think they would be selfless in the same position.Yeh!

Many pose as selfless and I think it must foster a great deal of resentment.

Fred and I can still have a bloody good row if needs be but we seem to have sorted out the pecking order now.

Simple really. I'm in charge and I don't take prisoners.

Good for you, Sharron! I couldn't row with my Dad, he'd just turn on the poor little old man act. I would simmer with resentment, but just got on with it.
However, it's all in the past now. Shouldn't speak ill of those who have departed.....

Fred has even tried pretending to cry.

As I have explained to him,it never worked for me so why would he expect it to work for him?

He is still the same cantankerous old git he always was. it's just that he can't get it out so easily now.

Kindatakes the edge off an argument when you have to translate for him the insult he is trying to throw at you.

Being an only child is no picnic in this situation. It's good that you are tough, and please make sure you have plenty of treats and breaks.
It won't last forever, just feels like it at times.

Actualy it is the best five years I have had with him.

It's not so bad at all.
