Diana, have you thought about asking your local council about sheltered housing for them in your area - it usually doesn't matter if they own a house, they should still be entitled, and you could say that they would probably buy somewhere local when their property is sold. Then you could leave the empty property with estate agents and it would maybe sell faster, without their things in, and without an ongoing chain. You wouldn't have to disrupt your life so much and they might even be able to stay in the sheltered housing place if they liked it. Good luck, whichever way you deal with it.

Thanks everyone..... they have dug me out of holes before and I am just returning the favour even if it kills me and/or them!! :O) Me gonna have rules that we all agree too as i couldn't bear to be watched 24/7 ever again!! Just imagine me coming home from work and wanting chill time with the Mother coming up every 5 mins to see what I am doing!!! Aaarrgggghhh!! LOL

Hi Diana How nice of you to think of your parents in this way. I know it won't be easy but I wish you all the best. My son came back home to live for a while after a relationship split and it wasn't easy. But he realized after a while that he was invading our privacy and soon found a place of his own. Much as you love your family after they leave home you have a different way of life and they can't see that. Things like what's for dinner Mum? and you just don't feel like cooking. Or are you going out again Mum wow I felt like I was the kid and he was the parent at times lol Good Luck anyway Diana all will be cool, just live your life like you normally do, don't change to please other people. Regards Jackie

Best of luck, Diana. Whatever the problems this sitauation brings, it will be for the best eventually. CB >|< X

Good luck, Diana! Hope it all sorts itself out before long. Love Helen

OH sweetheart, I wish you all the luck in the world. I've done it and the love you have for eachother can completely desolve in one mouthful. SO, brain in gear first, think again,then, perhaps keep your B****Y mouth shut anyway. Good luck. Just remember how much they love you. Deanna XXX

I feel for you but someone once said to me that when herparents came to live with her for a short time, she got through it by reminding herself that her parents had to contend with her as a baby, keeping them up at nights etc.. this kept her sane enough to get through it. xxhugxx

Hi Diana Hopefully as others have said it will be sorted out sooner than that. Wishing you and your parents all the very best. I think Ann is right it must be worse for them, when your younger you adapt better and you probably can leave on those long walks like BC suggests, but maybe they can't and may have to grin and bear it. Hopefully things will go ok. All the best Pat x

I do admire you Pink - I'd put mine in a home and they would rather go in one than live with me, lol.

Good luck, hope everything turns out ok :-)

diane i love my mum and dad to bits,but i couldnt live with them lol my brother moved in with us 2 years ago,when his relationship broke down.he tried living with mum and dad but mum would sit up every night until he came home.hes 36!!!! mum now comes round here every day asking what time he came home the night before. i tell her i dont know cos im usually in bed.she then gets upset,bless her shes a good mum but i couldnt live with her GOOD LUCK diane pmsl susie

Oh Pink do your parents know they will be living with a party animal, or will you have to behave yourself...? Anyway good luck to you all and perhaps they will get sorted sooner than you think. Jxx

Good luck to you Pink,i would take your puter with you ,something tells me you will need it to retain your sanity, and keep in touch with us all,really though ,it ain't so bad,a few of us have been there before you,and survivedlol.Fred.PtfT&A&G&G&S.

Hope everything goes smoothy for you and the bungalow sells quickly. My Dad had a rough time with things and people used to say how do you keep smiling he used to say 'If I don't smile I would cry' so chin up and keep smiling. good Luck Germaine x

Hi Pink good luck with your mum and dad. just remember to count to 10! Annexx

Good Luck !! I love my parents to bits and we get on really well, I think they would drive me mad withing 6 weeks let alone 6 months lol

Oh Pink - best of luck - here's hoping for a very quick sale. xx

lots of luck, hope it sells quickly, I know how you feel, we went to live with my grandparets untill theirs sold, while I loved them very much it was very hard to live with them, they were so set in their litle ways, had to go to bed at 9 lol. xxxx
