I have been doing it for about 17 years now. Keep assets in your name only, don't become liable for their debts. And good luck it isn't easy but it can be rewarding.

Have been doing it for many years. It gets very hard with a full time job but if you have a good team, they'll be understanding of needing to work remote or at times odd hours to make up for it. Some that I know have switched to internal firm roles to better handle the obligations. Also depends on where the parent will be living and how much assistance they'll get outside of the help you'll offer.

Make sure legal stuff is in order; may want to consult a lawyer that specializes in that area. Not as big a deal as it used to be, in that it is a more common situation these days, but worth peace of mind for both of you.

@D1 - Are you financially liable if their assets don't cover expenses? Definitely getting legal advice

Any good detox diets that good to try out and not horrroble for your body? I want to curb some sugar cravings and bad eating habits over the past year. Has anyone done one they liked? I was thinking of starting a 3 day detox then go into 7days of a white meat/fruit cleanse for a week. Then just stop eating like a complete child on holiday after those are done 😅 any advice on what helped you get past the cravings and level set would be helpful! I heard good things about keto but like options.

Many of you have young kids... are there any moms of teens here?

I am at a point where my teen's newfound "independence" is starting to impact my focus and time at work - his running off to hang with friends without permission, etc is becoming a distraction during the workday, and the impact has definitely been noticed by my superiors at work.

The issues with the kid are being handled appropriately - this is more about how to overcome perception at work
